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.
But of course it's not that simple. Autism is not just a collection of personality traits and personal interests, and not everyone who prefers solitude and comic books is autistic. In fact, autism is a developmental disability -- and diagnosis requires testing, evaluation, and an in-depth understanding of the disorder.
