This may vary from person to person. Some people may not face all these things, a few some or all. Others may overcome some things whereas others may always be the same all their lives.

*                Not responding to their name.

*                Avoiding eye contact.

*                Not smiling when others smile.

*                       Terribly upset by routine and change.

*                       Terribly upset by certain, taste, smells, and sounds, etc.

*                       Unawareness and misunderstanding of people’s thoughts and feelings. One aware and understood they will most likely feel bad about it and apologize but they won't be aware unless they are. 


*                       Not taking much notice of other children and people in one’s world and unaware of what’s going on around them.

*                       Finding it hard to access friendships and relationships.

*                       Finding it hard to know if someone is joking or serious. For eg; break a leg. Pull your socks up. They will most likely take it to the heart or may laugh at something don't see as funny, which won't be the intention. They won't understand that it is not funny until someone says it is not.https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/Patient-Caregiver-Education/Fact-Sheets/Autism-Spectrum-Disorder-Fact-Sheet
