Correct Answer - Option 1 : Problem in vision and hearing
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a developmental disorder impairs the communication, self-regulation, and social interaction skills of an individual. Autism is a “spectrum condition” that affects people differently and to varying degrees.
Characteristics of autism include:
- It is an early-onset disorder that is present from birth and can be diagnosed as early as 2 years of age in the developmental stage.
- Presence of repetitive patterns of behavior.
- Severe impairment in basic social skills.
- Problems or delay in the development of communication skills.
- Problems with non-verbal communication such as body language.
- Trouble in developing and maintaining relationships with others
- Avoiding eye contact with others.
- Under or overreaction to one or more of the five senses: sight, touch, taste, smell, or hearing.
Hence, it could be concluded that the problem in vision and hearing is not a characteristic of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
