Autism Spectrum Australia. Characteristics. Autism is characterised by marked difficulties in behaviour, social interaction, communication and sensory sensitivities. Some of these characteristics are common among people on the spectrum; others are typical of the disability but not necessarily exhibited by all people on the autism spectrum.
Physical clumsiness is an early sign of autism of this type as are a lack of empathy with their peer group and a lack of nonverbal communication skills. Other types of autism include Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD).
