Through engaging discussions and expert commentary, we explore the following five key traits commonly associated with autism:

1. Social communication difficulties: We discuss challenges in social interaction and communication, such as difficulty maintaining eye contact, engaging in reciprocal conversations, and understanding nonverbal cues.

2. Repetitive behaviors and interests: We examine the presence of repetitive movements, routines, and fixations on specific topics or objects, which are common characteristics of autism spectrum disorder.

3. Sensory sensitivities: We highlight heightened sensitivities to sensory stimuli, such as sounds, textures, or lights, experienced by many individuals with autism and their impact on daily life.

4. Difficulty with transitions and changes: We explore challenges in adapting to new situations, routines, or changes in the environment, which can lead to anxiety or distress for individuals with autism.

5. Delayed or atypical development: We discuss delays or differences in developmental milestones, such as speech and language development, motor skills, or social-emotional development, that may raise concerns for autism spectrum disorder.

Whether you're a parent, educator, caregiver, or ally seeking to deepen your understanding of autism spectrum disorder, this episode offers valuable insights and practical guidance for recognizing potential signs of autism.
