Change

Many autistic children find change difficult. Sometimes changes that seem apparently small and insignificant, such as changing clothes for a PE lesson at school, may cause more difficulties than a significant change, such as moving house.

Change can lead to an increase in stress and this can quickly become overwhelming for a child.

Escape or avoidance

A child’s behaviour may be an indication that they want to escape or avoid a situation. This may be due to being overwhelmed by sensory information, which can be threatening and can prevent them forming a coherent picture of the world. In some children this can trigger a dramatic stress response, and so running away from or avoiding the situation may be the only means the child has of coping with it.
