Social-pragmatic understanding
Why it's worth understanding now
Autism looks different in teenagers than in toddlers. Social rules become more complex, friendship expectations shift, and sensory and routine needs can become more obvious — or be masked so well that no one notices the struggle.
Many autistic teenagers go years without the right support, quietly struggling with friendships, school and self-esteem. Understanding your teenager's profile early opens the door to the right help — and, just as importantly, to them understanding themselves.
