Common manifestations of people with mild autism include: social interaction disorders, narrowing of interests, impaired verbal communication, and stereotyped movements and behaviors.
1. Social interaction disorder: People with mild autism usually can’t have good interpersonal communication with others, seldom take the initiative to contact other people, mostly stay alone, and seldom meet each other’s eyes when talking.
2. Narrow range of interests: For example, while many children in kindergarten are interested in games and toys, children with mild autism are usually not interested in toys, but may pay too much attention to a non-main feature of the toy.
3. Impaired verbal communication: The language development of children with mild autism lags behind that of their peers. Some children with mild autism are unable to complete a sentence accurately, and their tone of voice often lacks emotion.
4. Stereotyped behavior: For example, the patient repeats a certain action, eats the same meal every day, and goes to the toilet in a fixed place. If the patient’s routine is changed at once, the patient may become anxious, unhappy, or even resistive.
All in all, it is recommended that patients with mild autism should be treated as early as possible to help a good prognosis.
