Don’t assume all autistic individuals will present the same way. Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning it manifests differently in each individual. Some individuals may exhibit more visible characteristics, such as repetitive behaviors or difficulties with social interactions, while others may present with less obvious traits. For individuals who fall into the latter category, this can lead to misconceptions and challenges.
