What Does Autism Mean? Autism (say: aw-tih-zum) causes kids to experience the world differently from the way most other kids do.
A kid who has autism also has trouble linking words to their meanings.
. Imagine trying to understand what your mom is saying if you didn't know what her words really mean.. . It is doubly frustrating then if a kid can't come up with the right words to express his or her own thoughts.
Autism causes kids to act in unusual ways. They might flap their hands, say certain words over and over, have temper tantrums, or play only with one particular toy. Most kids with autism don't like changes in routines. They like to stay on a schedule that is always the same. They also may insist that their toys or other objects be arranged a certain way and get upset if these items are moved or disturbed.
