How does a person with autism look?

Answer 1

i don't know. probably not. Sometimes you can tell if a child is a little ''quirky'' and doesn't quite understand others verbal and non verbal cues. Some people have autistic tendencies yet don't have autism, and some have autism which is a little harder to detect. If you are worried it is best to consult a paediatrician or other professional. A person with autism does not differ in physical appearance compared to people without autism, although it has been suggested that as they grow older they might look slightly more youthful than others their age. Autism cannot be detected by physical appearance; it is detected by behaviors.

Answer 2

No, not everyone with autism acts the same way. Autistic people are as varied and different as neurotypical people. There is a saying when it comes to autism: "Once you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism".

Answer 3

No, autistic children look no different to neurotypical children. Autism is a neurological difference, so it is about how our brain functions and how our mind works. As autism is neurological there are no physical signs of autism outside of our behavior, appearance alone we look like anyone else.

Answer 4

No, we Autistic people all act very differently - just like neurotypical people. There's a saying: 'Once you've met one Autistic person, you've met one Autistic person'. Although many of us will share similar characteristics, as we're all Autistic, the way autism effects us varies greatly from person to person.

Answer 5

No, you can't tell that someone is Autistic just by looking at them.

Generally speaking there are no physical symptoms of Autism, thus a persons appearance alone is not an indication - although an Autistic person may dress differently, and have unusual looking body language such as issues making eye contact. As an Autistic person I can often tell Autistic people within a few minutes of being with them, not from social interaction but because although we learn social skills like body language as it doesn't come naturally to us it's always ever so slightly 'off'. I've never known a neurotypical person who was able to consciously pick-up on this.
