Describe how autistic children can be distinguished from non-autistic children
What will be an ideal response?
Autistic infants are usually physically normal, learning to crawl and walk at normal
ages. However, they seem to lack almost any attachments or social skills. As infants,
they tend not to smile or explore things with their mouths. They do not seek cuddling or
hugging and prefer to play by themselves, even when other children are present. Some
autistic children even mutilate themselves in a variety of ways. As these children get
older, differences become more obvious. Autistic children tend to practice echolalia and
mutism. They tend to have a strong desire for exact sameness. Any change in their
environment may cause an outburst. The most prominent feature of autistic children is
how contently alone they seem.
