  • difficulties predicting and processing change
  • difficulties thinking of and using alternatives to situations or problems
  • a need to feel 'in control' of activities and interactions which may be interpreted as bullying, controlling or demanding behaviour
  • literal and visual interpretation of language and information
  • repetitive questioning and repetitive topics of conversation and play themes
  • avoidance of new or different activities or interactions
  • perseveration or difficulties changing tasks, topics or themes
  • poor generalisation skills or the ability to apply knowledge or information to different activities, situations or interactions
  • difficulties with regulation of self including managing emotions
  • a preoccupation with specific information or themes
  • attending to insignificant details that result in difficulties attending to the main source of information in the learning environment.​
