The most common signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be classified into three main areas: social skills deficits, communication difficulties, and repetitive behaviors. In terms of social skills deficits, people with ASD may have difficulty initiating conversations, understanding nonverbal cues, and making eye contact. Communication difficulties can include delayed language development, difficulty engaging in back-and-forth conversations, and an inability to understand jokes or sarcasm. Repetitive behaviors can include lining up objects, repeating actions or words, and engaging in self-stimulating behaviors. It is important to note that the manifestation of symptoms may vary depending on the individual, and that not all individuals with ASD will display all of these signs.
