10Difficulty Understanding the Thoughts of Other People
Though autistic people might feel caring or sympathy for others, their affective or cognitive are often impaired. This means they find it hard to understand what other people are thinking just based on facial expressions, body language, or tones of voice. In most cases, they must rely on some clear signs to know what you want. This leads to many misunderstandings in social situations. For example, detecting lies and sarcasm could be difficult because people with autism might not know when your thoughts become different from what they are verbalizing. [10]
