Best Answer

No, putting your hands over your ears is not part of autism or a feature of autism. Autistic people have sensory problems, meaning that they are more sensitive to sensory stimulation such as sound - an autistic person may put their hands over their ears to try to prevent themselves hearing so that their sensory issues are easier for them to cope with.

What is the significance of holding your hands to your ears?

This depends on the situation. If there is a loud noise, then holding your hands over your ears helps to keep the noise out. If, however, you cup a hand behind each ear, then it helps to capture sound waves so that you may hear better. The third possibility is that you might be looking at three monkeys: one with hands over its eyes (see no evil) one with hands over its mouth (speak no evil), and finally one with hands over its ears (hear no evil).

Can a 2 year old get rid of autism?

No - no one can 'get rid' of autism. Autism is a neurological difference...the only way to 'get rid' of autism then would be to 'get rid' of a persons brain, which obviously isn't an option. Although autism can be a disability for many it can also be an advantage to many, even if a 2 year old is severely affected by their autism they may improve over time.
