Explanation of Facets:

Depression: People with autism are

four times more likely to experience
depression than those who are
neurotypical. One of the strongest
predictors of depression is loneliness.
Since individuals high in the autism
spectrum are more at risk of isolating
themselves, they may have more
depression triggers.

Fixations: Many people with autism

spectrum disorders have di>culties in
dealing with change. As a
consequence, they often have routines
that they feel that they need to follow.
Adhering to these rituals and routines
tends to make them feel more in
control of their environment. They also
usually have special interests that they
feel they must tend to, which they
experience as fundamental to their
well-being.

Abnormal/Flat Speech: Individuals

with autism generally speak diEerently
from most people. They may talk in a
Fat or exaggerated way or speak in
clipped bursts. This relates to the
general di>culties people with autism
spectrum disorders experience in
understanding metaphors, social cues,
and the subtexts of certain words.

Noise Sensitivity: One common

symptom experienced by people with
autism spectrum disorders is intense
sensitivity to sound. Autism spectrum
individuals may be easily overwhelmed
by noises as well as other
environmental stimuli such as
abnormal temperatures or lights.

Social DiIculty: Many individuals on

the autism spectrum feel challenged
when it comes to making or engaging
friends and may be overwhelmed by
uncertain social situations. This
disposition is often related to their
di>culties with reading non-verbal
communication, or, conversely, to
their own adherence to Gxed routines
or tendency towards Fat speech.

Anxiety: Individuals with autism often

develop irrational fears or phobias,
social anxiety, and separation anxiety.
They may struggle with intense levels
of stress due to their sensory
sensitivities and/or di>culties
adapting to changes in their routines.
Individuals high in Social Anxiety may
also develop a fear of negative
reactions from their peers.

Abnormal Posture: Individuals on the

autism spectrum often struggle with a
reduced perception of their bodily
movements. As a result, they may
have di>culties with their motor
coordination or postural orientation.
These tendencies may further
exacerbate their social isolation.

Poor Eye Contact: One of the

hallmarks of autism is the tendency to
avoid eye contact. Individuals on the
autism spectrum often Gnd that
maintaining eye contact causes them
stress. Due to the overwhelming
sensory input many experience, many
individuals with autism would rather
look at something else, such as static
objects or another person’s shoes.

Tics and Fidgets: Individuals with

autism may experience motoric and
somatic tics such as head movements,
excessive blinking, or twitching. They
may also struggle with vocal tics, such
as repeating words or phrases. Finally,
some Gnd it challenging to keep still,
and they constantly feel the urge to
Gdget.

Aggression: Some individuals with

autism may be prone to aggression in
the form of hitting objects or things,
destroying property, and/or throwing
temper tantrums. This is especially
likely to occur for those individuals
with autism who cannot speak well, as
this is another way of communicating
their needs.
