What does autism look like? Who the h@@@ knows. Really, granted if you see a child walking on their tip toes flapping their hands looking like they are about to take off, they might be autistic. If you try talking the child and they ignore you or screech at you the child might be autistic.
But if you see a child walking around doing weird things with their fingers, staring off into space, guess what that child might be autistic. If the child comes up to you and starts talking about different breeds of dogs, yep that child might be autistic. If you try to talk to a child but they won't look at you in the face and mumble a comment. Yep that child might be autistic.
If you are in a crowded place and you hear a child whining he wants to go home, and his parents are trying to convince him to stay, yep he might be autistic and the parents are trying to push his boundaries.
If you have met one kid with autism guess what you have met one kid with autism.
Like every other human being, every one is different. There is no autism mold. Every autistic child is different.
