Autistic Teenagers
, 08 05th, 2008
Autistic teenagers may not act like other people you know or even each other, because the severity and range of symptoms can vary so much from person to person. Autistic teenagers can have issues with verbal and emotional expression and may be more comfortable communicating with hand gestures or seem unemotional. Some may prefer solitude and seem like they may not want to make friends, not reacting to social cues like the body language of others or refraining from group activities. Some autistic teens appear passive and withdrawn, where others seem to be more aggressive and have tantrums when they are frustrated because expressing emotions in more acceptable ways is difficult.
Some autistic teenagers are very sensitive to sensory stimuli and may draw back when hugged or startle when they hear a sudden noise. Many are more comfortable with a regular daily routine because change makes them anxious. In more severe cases, an autistic teen will fixate on objects or ideas or display repetitive motions like rocking. Autistic research shows that the above traits are all part of the disorder, but research also classifies autism as a spectrum disorder because of the different spectrum of ways it can affect each person who has it.
