Aspergers Symptoms - here are 7 you never knew! Super interesting list of autism traits. Whether it is Aspergers Symptoms female or male, these 7 un common traits are tell tale signs of an autism spectrum disorder. These 7 traits are also Aspergers Symptoms in adults and not just children or young people on the spectrum. As a person ages, their traits may differ slightly but usually they stay the same at the core of the issues. What is Aspergers Syndrome? It is a lifelong neurological condition that impacts the way in which a person interacts with the world around them. It is now referred to as Autism Spectrum Disorder as it is autism. What are the characteristics of a person with Aspergers? There are some very common signs, like lack of eye contact, issues with social situations and facial expressions. But there are a list of Asperger Symptoms that are not as common, that are listed here. What a lot of people forget is that Asperger syndrome in adulthood is just as impacting on a person's life as it is when they are children. This is why the Aspergers test is the same for everyone no matter their age. Science currently doesn't know what causes autism but they do know it is linked to genetics, and the genes of a person's ancestors. 1. Repetitive behaviour: People with Aspergers Syndrome will thrive off routine and repetitive patterns. These can be daily life routines, getting up having the same food for breakfast, sitting in the same spot, watching the same show at the same time etc. These are massive characteristics of Aspergers. 2. Tics: Tics are usually associated with tourettes syndrome but tics can also be found within people on the autism spectrum. Tics can range from physical jerks to sounds noises and grunts that a autistic person may do involuntary 3. Anti Social Behaviour: Not anti social in the criminal sense but anti social as in, the person will prefer to stay at home, research their favourite topic, or play video games that go out with friends and family. This may be a few reasons, social anxiety, social issues and communication issues all associated with autism, and these are all co-morbid conditions with an autist spectrum disorder. 4. Fussy Eating: Being picky at eating can be a use tell tail sign that a person is autistic. Fussy eating comes from a Sensory Processing Disorder or (SPD), where a person who is autistic may be under or over sensitive to certain textures, smells and temperatures of foods. Thus making them seem like they are fussy at eating, when in fact it is a sensory issues caused by SPD that is co-occurring within autism. 5.

Unfortunately their short term memory is not the same. People with Aspergers Syndrome tend to have really bad short term memory, like remembering to go to a certain place at a certain time in the future etc. 7. Stuttering: Although this isn't the majority of people on the autism spectrum, some people will have a stutter or a stammer, possibly when they are younger and it gets less and less as they grow older.

EYE CONTACT Eye contact can be difficult for people on the spectrum as it is uncomfortable for the m to make direct eye contact for longer than a few moments. This is overcome by the person looking at the cheek or nose of the recipient (autism hack) 2. ISSUES WITH SOCIAL SKILLS Autism impacts the social and communicating aspects of a persons life. An autistic individual may have trouble creating and maintaining social conversation. Also an autistic person may have difficulties understanding social cues or gestures which are typically unspoken rules of social communication and socialising with other people. 3. ROUTINES Routines are very important to autistic people as the individual enjoys the structure and familiarity of their routines. An autistic person may also not like to waiver from their routine as this ‘change’ can be upsetting and distressing in some cases for the individual. An autistic individual will enjoy the routines and that pattern of knowing what comes next which is why routines and structure are very important in the lives of many autistic people. 4. OBSESSIVE INTERESTS People on the autism spectrum tend to usually have an obsessive topic of interest that they know a lot about and become fixated or hyper fixated (hyper focused) on these specific topics of interest. These interests can change from time to time, but the same rules apply: hyper fixated and becoming knowledgeable in this topic. Also wanting to talk about said topic constantly. 5. SENSORY PROCESSING DISORDER Sensory processing disorder or SPD is usually co-morbid with a diagnosis of autism. This means that many autistic people have SPD, and it impacts their daily life. SPD is the over or under sensitivity to environmental stimuli that causes issues with communicating with their environment, like the labels on clothes can be so itchy or irritating it can cause a meltdown, or a certain spell or texture of food can be distressing for the individual.
