First of all, you are mistaking the general "Autism" Spectrum (Category) with the differing Syndromes (levels) of Autism. As a Parent of a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, I can tell you that the best way to learn of the unique cahracteristics of these children is to talk to parents who have raised their children with these disorders. There are so many ways to tailor interaction to help Autism Spectrum Children to integrate into society that it would be difficult to say what works for one child would work for another. It is a matter of what works -- like for example, when young, the Blankie was my child's source of soothing when the child encountered difficulty in school -- the child took it to school, had it on the bus, rubbed it when upset, and yes, the child was made fun of by other children. Most kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders CAN be integrated into regular classrooms with the help of an Aide -- and they CAN learn -- you just have to be willing to see the world through their eyes and reach them through their perspective. But be aware, they experience the world differently than you will, and it will take you some effort to really understand where they are coming from. and for your own sake -- WATCH what you say to an Autistic -- they take things LITERALLY - - and for me, I spent many years just trying to reach out to my child and carefully explain some of the things she was hearing every day.

good question im a psychologist just graduate i think you are right everybody is unique and can manifest these conditiions in unique ways however they have to have similar characteristics otherwise it would be difficult to diagnose them as having x,y and z in the first place. Therefore interventions should be made according to the characteristics in general for autism and they should be tweaked a little depending on the individual suffering from this condition.

some of them are obsessed with time and they can tell time and they can know the number of an object without counting it. They have to have a consistent routine or they go crazy even if they rountine is changed even slightly
