    Explanation of Facets:

    Depression: People with autism are


    four times more likely to experience
    depression than those who are
    neurotypical. One of the strongest
    predictors of depression is
    loneliness. Since individuals high in
    the autism spectrum are more at
    risk of isolating themselves, they
    may have more depression triggers.

    Fixations: Many people with autism


    spectrum disorders have di!culties
    in dealing with change. As a
    consequence, they often have
    routines that they feel that they
    need to follow. Adhering to these
    rituals and routines tends to make
    them feel more in control of their
    environment. They also usually have
    special interests that they feel they
    must tend to, which they experience
    as fundamental to their well-being.

    Abnormal/Flat Speech: Individuals


    with autism generally speak
    di"erently from most people. They
    may talk in a flat or exaggerated way
    or speak in clipped bursts. This
    relates to the general di!culties
    people with autism spectrum
    disorders experience in
    understanding metaphors, social
    cues, and the subtexts of certain
    words.

    Noise Sensitivity: One common


    symptom experienced by people
    with autism spectrum disorders is
    intense sensitivity to sound. Autism
    spectrum individuals may be easily
    overwhelmed by noises as well as
    other environmental stimuli such as
    abnormal temperatures or lights.

    Social Di!culty: Many individuals


    on the autism spectrum feel
    challenged when it comes to making
    or engaging friends and may be
    overwhelmed by uncertain social
    situations. This disposition is often
    related to their di!culties with
    reading non-verbal communication,
    or, conversely, to their own
    adherence to fixed routines or
    tendency towards flat speech.

    Anxiety: Individuals with autism


    often develop irrational fears or
    phobias, social anxiety, and
    separation anxiety. They may
    struggle with intense levels of stress
    due to their sensory sensitivities
    and/or di!culties adapting to
    changes in their routines. Individuals
    high in Social Anxiety may also
    develop a fear of negative reactions
    from their peers.

    Abnormal Posture: Individuals on


    the autism spectrum often struggle
    with a reduced perception of their
    bodily movements. As a result, they
    may have di!culties with their
    motor coordination or postural
    orientation. These tendencies may
    further exacerbate their social
    isolation.

    Poor Eye Contact: One of the


    hallmarks of autism is the tendency
    to avoid eye contact. Individuals on
    the autism spectrum often find that
    maintaining eye contact causes them
    stress. Due to the overwhelming
    sensory input many experience,
    many individuals with autism would
    rather look at something else, such
    as static objects or another person’s
    shoes.

    Tics and Fidgets: Individuals with


    autism may experience motoric and
    somatic tics such as head
    movements, excessive blinking, or
    twitching. They may also struggle
    with vocal tics, such as repeating
    words or phrases. Finally, some find
    it challenging to keep still, and they
    constantly feel the urge to fidget.

    Aggression: Some individuals with


    autism may be prone to aggression
    in the form of hitting objects or
    things, destroying property, and/or
    throwing temper tantrums. This is
    especially likely to occur for those
    individuals with autism who cannot
    speak well, as this is another way of
    communicating their needs.
