- Intellectual disabilities:
- Present in some individuals with autism spectrum disorder
- Range from mild to severe
- Cognitive differences:
- Difficulties with attention, memory, and executive function
- Weaknesses in certain cognitive areas (e.g., theory of mind, social reasoning)
- Sensory processing issues:
- Hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to certain sensory stimuli
- Difficulty modulating sensory input
- Motor difficulties:
- Poor coordination
- Difficulty with fine motor skills
- Sleep problems:
- Difficulty falling or staying asleep
- Irregular sleep patterns
- Gastrointestinal issues:
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Food sensitivities or aversions
- Behavioral problems:

Severity levels:
- Level 1 (Requiring Support): Individuals need support in some social situations, may have difficulty with communication and interaction, and may have restricted interests and repetitive behaviors.
- Level 2 (Requiring Substantial Support): Individuals need substantial support in multiple social situations, have difficulty initiating and maintaining conversations, and may have repetitive behaviors that interfere with daily activities.
- Level 3 (Requiring Very Substantial Support): Individuals need very substantial support in social situations, may have difficulty communicating verbally, and may have rigid adherence to routines and repetitive behaviors that significantly interfere with daily functioning.
