Most of the time, autism is suspected in a child or adult because of deficits or stereotyped differences in social and communication skills. Some examples of these differences include:
- Delayed or unusual speech patterns (many autistic children, for example, memorize video scripts and repeat them word for word with the precise intonation as the TV characters),
- High pitched or flat intonation,
- Lack of slang or "kidspeak,"
- Difficulty understanding tone of voice and body language as a way of expressing sarcasm, humor, irony, etc.,
- Lack of eye contact,
- Inability to take another's perspective (to imagine oneself in someone else's shoes.
