 Number two, autistic children like to be alone. Some folks think that kids with autism prefer to be alone and do their own thing, but that's not true for everyone. There are many autistic kids who really enjoy being around other kids. They can be super friendly and social, but sometimes they just face challenges with those social connections. They might not always get personal space or they might not pick up on what other kids are feeling depending on the situation. So yeah, it can be a bit tricky for autistic kids to click with others, but as a whole, they don't all prefer to be alone.
