Autism is a complex developmental disorder that has the following three defining core features that are Problems with social interactions, impaired verbal and nonverbal communication and also pattern of repetitive behavior with narrow, restricted interests. Autism typically appears during the first three years of life. Some children show signs from birth. Others seem to develop normally at first, only to slip suddenly into symptoms when they are 18 to 36 months old.

What are the autism symptoms in adults?

There are three distinctive symptoms of autism:

1. Problems with social interaction
2. Problems with verbal and nonverbal communication
3. Repetitive behavior  with narrow, obsessive interests

Autism adults can also develop symptoms that include reduced sensitivity to pain but increased sensitivity to sound, touch, or other sensory stimulation. Symptoms can range from mild to disabling.

Social interaction

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

Verbal and nonverbal communication

Adults 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.

Repetitive behavior with narrow, obsessive interest

Many children with symptoms of autism engage in repetitive movements, such as rocking and twirling, or in self-abusive behavior, such as biting or head-banging. They also tend to start speaking later than other children. Children with autism don’t know how to play interactively with other children. Some speak in a sing-song voice about a narrow range of favorite topics, with little regard for the interests of the person to whom they are speaking.
