Summary

Description
English: This poster was drawn by an autistic artist, and describes autism in simple language without value judgments.

Avoids eye contact: Autistic people tend to find eye contact unnerving or distracting. Lines up objects: Autistics may line up objects for fun or while lost in thought. Need for routine: Autistic people thrive in predictable settings, and feel more comfortable with a steady routine. Hyper or passive: Autistic people may have unusual energy levels. Over or under sensitive: Sensory processing issues are common. Loves favorite objects: Autistic people may have a favorite object, like a piece of string or a stuffed animal. The object may not be a toy in the conventional sense of the word. Needs more rest: Autistic people need alone time, and may find the demands of the everyday world to be overwhelming or exhausting. Repetitive movements: Repetitive motions (stimming) can be therapeutic for autistic people.

The poster recommends wikiHow as a source of autism-related advice.
