#1 Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disorder that typically appears in childhood, and symptoms can vary in intensity or manifestation throughout a person’s lifetime. It is characterized by persistent lifelong impairments in social communication as well as the presence of restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities.

#2 There is no minimum number of questions that you must answer positively to qualify as having a symptom. And not everyone experiences these traits in the same way. The key word in autism spectrum disorder is spectrum: we are a diverse group of individuals with varied life experiences.

#3 If you have Asperger’s, you may struggle with social interactions. You may find it difficult to approach others to initiate a conversation, and you may have difficulty entering into a social group or conversation. You may struggle with knowing when it’s your turn to talk, and you may frequently interrupt others or leave unusually long pauses in conversations.

#4 If you have trouble coordinating eye contact and gestures during conversation, you may have prosopagnosia. If you are unable to read other people’s facial expressions or body language, you may have apraxia.
