Autistic Behaviors and Idiosyncrasies
Autistic individuals often exhibit behaviors and idiosyncrasies that may seem peculiar to others. These behaviors can vary widely and are not limited to specific diagnostic criteria. Some examples include getting deep in thought about innocuous subjects and appearing upset, avoiding certain sounds like the microwave or automatic towel dispensers, using specific vessels for beverages, buying multiples of the same thing out of fear of scarcity, and experiencing difficulty with sleep routines. These behaviors are not exclusive to autistic individuals, but autistic people may engage in them more frequently or consistently.
