Introduction Feedback and helpful advice appreciated. I am interested in reading blogs from other parents as I believe we can learn from each other. Autism is a spectrum disorder which means their is a broad range of symptoms. Some kids have some of them, others more. Common autistic traits -social difficulties -high frustration levels often resulting in tantrums -sensory issues-seeking sensory imput or avoiding sensory imput ex. some individuals with autism seek deep pressure and others don't like to be touched. Bright lights and loud noises can cause sensory overloads. -have trouble communicating emotions or cannot verbally communicate at all -no eye contact -lack of imaginative play -perservation of interests and activities-obsessing about certain topics or doing activities over and over -loves a routine, often will not like a change even a positive one if not prewarned My kids actually do a lot of imaginative play but all kids with autism are different. There are other symptoms but these are the ones that stand out from my "research" on autism and from my own kids.
