5. Gets upset by minor changes
Children with autism may have difficulty with transitions or changes in routine due to their need for predictability and structure. These children may become anxious or distressed when their routine is disrupted or when they are faced with a new or unfamiliar situation. They may also have difficulty adapting to changes in their environment, such as a new school or a change in caregivers.
Transitions and changes in routine can be especially challenging for children with autism because they may rely on routines and predictability to help them understand and make sense of their environment. When their routine is disrupted or they are faced with a new situation, they may feel uncertain and overwhelmed, which can lead to behavior challenges.
