what are the major symptoms of utism???

Answer 1

Autism?

There are three distinctive behaviors that characterize autism. Autistic children have difficulties with social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and repetitive behaviors or narrow, obsessive interests. These behaviors can range in impact from mild to disabling.

The hallmark feature of autism is impaired social interaction. Parents are usually the first to notice symptoms of autism in their child. As early as infancy, a baby with autism may be unresponsive to people or focus intently on one item to the exclusion of others for long periods of time. A child with autism may appear to develop normally and then withdraw and become indifferent to social engagement.

Children with autism may fail to respond to their name and often avoid eye contact with other people. They have difficulty interpreting what others are thinking or feeling because they can’t understand social cues, such as tone of voice or facial expressions, and don’t watch other people’s faces for clues about appropriate behavior. They lack empathy.

The Symptoms
Autism is classified as a pervasive developmental disorder. The "pervasive" part of the name implies that the disorder is serious, or that it affects many areas of development. Symptoms vary greatly from person to person. People with autism may appear to daydream constantly or be unaware of people around them. Most children with autism prefer to play by themselves, and treat other people like furniture. The major symptoms of autism include: Symptoms of Autism


Communication Problems
Many people with autism are uncommunicative - they will not speak, gesture, or make facial expressions. When they do speak, the speech may be in a sing-song pattern or monotone (no variation in pitch, like playing a single note on an instrument). Other people with autism may talk at length with no regard to what another person says or does.
Repetitive Motions
Most people with autism enjoy repetitive motions, such as spinning objects, running water, or sniffing objects. A sense of routine is very important, and it can be extremely upsetting to them when part of their routine is changed. This could be something as trivial as changing the route to the grocery store or moving an item within the house.
Problems with Social Interactions
People with autism have trouble interpreting other people's facial expressions. Most of the time they will not make eye contact with others and have trouble making friends. Some people with autism are hypersensitive to sound and may get very upset when they hear sirens or dogs barking. Others are fascinated by faint noises such as the ticking of a watch. To some, bright lights are distressing, while others will stare at bright lights for hours. Many people with autism can not stand light touch: scratchy clothing could be unbearable. Others seem immune to pain and may hurt themselves. Mood swings are common.
