Why Do Some People With Autism Have Restricted Interests and Repetitive Movements? by Julia Montgomery https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19 Post your written response on this Padlet. en-us 2022-11-15 12:45:25 UTC 2025-10-27 16:51:28 UTC hello@padlet.com J https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384792012 People with autism they don’t want anything to change and they like to keep thing the same they get mad when it changes ]]> 2022-11-15 13:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384792012 David Delaney-Granados https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384802036
“People with autism have restricted interests & repetitive movements because their brains work differently than neurotypical people and cannot process abstract concepts such as feelings effectively, as stated in paragraph 7 “…people with autism have less abstract thought. They tend to be visual processors of information, with less strength in linguistic coding, or using language to explain their thoughts.”. In addition, they struggle with anticipating and adapting to other people’s behaviors, as stated in paragraph 8, “[People with autism] are also less able to put themselves figuratively in other people’s shoes and guess what they’re thinking and feeling.”. We see these qualities demonstrated in Christopher throughout the ‘Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime’ by Mark Haddon, specifically Christopher’s traits of closedness and shyness, and his struggle to read faces with his teacher, Siobhan, in the first few chapters.”]]> 2022-11-15 13:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384802036 David https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384806393 People who have autism develop behaviors based on change within their life or by a new experience or moment in their life that brings anxiety. Anxiety is a big part of people with autism spectrum disorder because it forces a big change within their patter of day, on paragraph 20 it states “ As the person’s world shrinks, the space left from these externally imposed structures can be taken up with restrictive and repetitive behaviors and interests. This is when the risk of getting “locked in” to these filtering behaviors increases”. This paragraph states that people in the autism spectrum disorder as their world shrinks from anxiety and their solution( fiddling or locked in) to this increases. Christopher from the book of “ the incident of the dog in the nighttime” by Mark had don showed that when his anxiety increased due to a change made him close off from others and try to get away, he likes to be in close spaces alone, he gets “locked in” by trying to remember things that are similar to the things present in the scenery to things he likes.]]> 2022-11-15 13:38:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384806393 Ryan https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384808342 People with autism typically deal with anxiety with their interests/obsessions, and only those interests specifically. As stated within the article: “Picture this scenario: a new after-school routine triggers anxiety in a young person with autism. They filter this out by becoming increasingly obsessed with gaming. It’s clear they’re not responding to the demands of the new after-school routine, so the pressure – and therefore, the anxiety – increases. So too does the filtering (gaming). As this continues, the young person is drifting further from the behavior needed, while getting locked in to the obsession.” This can be shown with Christopher, as when he feels an immense amount of anxiety, he begins thinking about mathematics, as he seems to gravitate towards it more than anything else. Thinking about math problems to calm him down, etc.]]> 2022-11-15 13:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384808342 Samil https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384809901 Some people with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements due to a few things. "people with autism have less abstract thought." This shows that they find it hard to view concepts such as Anxiety because it's not a sure fire thing, it doesn't have to be straightforward. Like Christopher, They need strict time routines, (The time tables). "Anxiety For people with autism, this can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change." This obsessive actions can be deeply rooted into Christopher, maybe because his family was falling apart, that anxiety that he was feeling causes him to go such lengths to be a detective, even neglecting what his father said.]]> 2022-11-15 13:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384809901 Lucas Lutz https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384815424 People with autism usually experience restricted interests and repetitive movements. This happens because of autistic people experiencing anxiety. This may happen because of there need for structure and a change in this structure may cause them to fall into an obsession. For example in the text it mentions that they may develop an obsession like gaming. For example in the book “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time” Christopher Boon the protagonist of the book has autism and often has ritualistic habits and has a rigid schedule every day. Also, if this schedule is broken he will feel sick and experience anxiety. In addition in the book we see Christopher being conflicted with leaving his Father while not wanting to live with his father he also is scared of the change that would come with it. This demonstrates how and why people who exhibit signs of autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements.]]> 2022-11-15 13:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384815424 Greg gvescovi25 https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384820430 People with autism has restricted intereses and repetitive movements because they do not like change. They like to have a routine that they do everyday and when it changes it can be difficult for them to adapt to the new changes. One way we see this on Christopher is when the cop touched him and he decided to hit the cop.  The second way we see this on Christopher is when he gets physical with father. After father grabs hold of him he starts to hit him because he doesn’t like to be touched. This shows the fight or flight instinct. One way we see this on Christopher Boone is how he tells us his routine for the day. He knows exactly what he is going to do each day and this helps him with his anxiety.]]> 2022-11-15 13:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384820430 Mateus https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384823757 Some people with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements because of anxiety. We see these behaviors in Christopher Boone, for example when he stays on his computer until really late at night. Another example is when Christopher would throw a tantrum whenever something unexpected happened, like Mrs. Shears screaming at him and calling the cops]]> 2022-11-15 13:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384823757 Alexandra Fernandez https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384827450 In the text is shows that people with autism have different reactions that people that don’t have autism for example in the text it says that people with autism that have anxiety they act differently then a person with just anxiety would it says For people with autism, anxiety can push them into obsessive or avoidance behaviors. We can relate this back to Christopher in the book curious incident because when mrs shear was yelling at Christopher he got really anxious and but his head in the grass this shows that he acted out when he got anxiety. Another example of how people with autism reacts differently is the texts say that when   Their abstract-leaning brains do not always know how to anticipate or act in new situations. We can see this reaction in Christopher when he is trying to get in the train to see the mom. ]]> 2022-11-15 13:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384827450 Kayla krescigno25 https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384827491 “People with autism have less abrace thoughts.” This goes to show how people with Autism have everyday struggles and find it hard to view concepts such as anxiety and other things because it’s not something’s that straight forward. Similar to Christopher, they need routines and everything to be the same. “anxiety for people with autism, this can push to obsessions and interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change.” These obsessive actions can be very similar to Christopher, and because Christopher’s family is falling apart, that anxiety feeling causes him to go so far as being a detective, even going against fathers wishes.]]> 2022-11-15 13:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384827491 Michael Herrera https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384828231 The article tells us about the different types of dimensions in peoples behavior and interest. The second dimension common in developing pre-school-age children.  What triggers people with autism can be different in every person, changes in routine, anxiety, and communication difficulties are common triggers. Why people with autism have different responses then most people, in the text it states, “For people with autism, this can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change.” This shows us that the causes can very and that anxiety is also a trigger. Chris can definitely relate to the part where changes in routine can be trigger and this is true because in the book we saw him always have times table to organize his day.]]> 2022-11-15 13:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384828231 Shane Kelly skelly254 https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384830086 Autism has 2 dimensions, the first dimension and second dimension. The dimension is “appear to be made up of two dimensions. The first is a pattern of overly regulated thinking: obsessions and intense interests; a strong preference for maintaining sameness; and ritualistic or habitual patterns of behavior,”. The second dimension is “the rocking, twisting, flapping behavior often associated with early depictions of severe autism in the media.”. Some people with autism develop their behavior  differently than others, their are more severe and less severe types of autism. Change, crowds, and overwhelming feelings can trigger people with autism, when this happens, “this can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change.”. Christopher Boone matches up to people with autism in real life because they both have the same triggers and same reactions.]]> 2022-11-15 13:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384830086 Mateo v https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384832209 people with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements , We can see this with Christopher Boone in Curious incident. For example it states in the article "For people with autism, this can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change." This demonstrates how we can see this with Christopher Boone with his “ Black days “ or anybody with autism they would usually get really upset or have avoidance behavior. Another example in the text it states "When faced with change, the difficulty people with autism have in recognizing like or similar experiences—out of their familiar thought compartment—results in anxiety. This anxiety is not labelled and, as an abstract concept, is not recognized." This show how when people with Autism when they cant comprehend something or if their not comfortable with something they will get very intense anxiety , and we can see this with Christopher whenever his mind couldn’t understand something. In conclusion people with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements due to their Anxiety in certain situations when they don’t feel comfortable.]]> 2022-11-15 13:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384832209 Roberto Cortez Reyes https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384973631 Some people with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements because when faced with change, the difficulty people with autism have in recognizing like or similar experiences out of their familiar thought compartment – results in anxiety. This anxiety is not labelled and, as an abstract concept, is not recognized and They are also less able to put themselves figuratively in other people’s shoes and guess what they’re thinking and feeling. In addition this also connects to Christopher becuase he has a hard time with communication and knowing the feeling of others this is important to understand because Christopher is really smart but he has different actions from other people.]]> 2022-11-15 15:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384973631 Kyra Mitkowski https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384976770 People with autism tend to have restricted interests because they tend to be attracted to things that give them comfort and make them feel happy, they don’t like to go out of their comfort zones because this can cause the, extreme stress. People with autism to tend to like things that are “weird” by neurotypical peoples standards because they can usually relate to these things better. The reason neurodivergent people tend to hyperfixate on things is because they get comfort and feel safe from these things. The reason they tend to have repetitive movements is because these things also give them comfort and make them feel safe, they are a defense mechanism. Some also don’t know what to do with their body’s so they repeat things that they think are okay and make them feel comfortable with their bodies. Chris really likes prime numbers which a lot of people would consider weird because most people don’t remember past 7. He also curls up in a ball when he feels stressed and wants comfort, a movement he doesn’t multiple times.]]> 2022-11-15 15:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384976770 Nolan Farrelly https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384977253 People with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements because their brains develop to be less abstract thinkers which can cause change to result in anxiety. People with autism who have anxiety deal with it by pushing obsessions and resisting change, it also causes increased motor functions such as tics. These behaviors are shown in Christopher, an example of this is when Christopher curls up into a ball and begins groaning both when confronted by the police officer and when father tells him he killed Wellington. It is also shown when Christopher explains how seeing certain cars in a row will affect wether or not he does things like eat that day.]]> 2022-11-15 15:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384977253 Justin Gandarela jgandarela25 https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384980587 People with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements and behavior. People with autism like to have repetition in their lifestyle and in their everyday life. This keeps them organized and focused. If they don’t repeat their schedule or have repetition it causes anxiety and stress. Anxiety is when someone is overwhelmed by something and can’t process it at once which causes someone to panic. This causes people with autism to shut down and can’t think straight by the overwhelming pressure. Christopher has these same behavioral issues in the story. One example is his exact schedule at a certain time every day. This causes repetition for him and keeps Christopher going. Another example is when Christopher shuts down and rolls himself into a ball on the ground. This happened because when the policeman asked him questions about Wellington he got overwhelmed and nervous.]]> 2022-11-15 15:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384980587 Besian Husiq bhusiq25 https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384981455 People with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements. For example people with autism don’t like change. They like things to be the same and stay the same. It puts them in a state of panic. It interferes with them heavily because they don’t know what to do in these situations. We see this in Christopher Boone when the police officer puts his hands in Christopher, Christopher doesn’t like when people touch him let alone strangers, so when the unknown police officer touches him he doesn’t know how to react. This demonstrates Christopher Boone has restricting interests because when a stranger touches him he flips out. Another example of this is Christopher doesn’t like each type of food touching each other on his plate. This shows people with autism struggle with restricted interests because it interferes with them. As you can see people with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements.]]> 2022-11-15 15:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384981455 Tony Yu https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384996476 Some people with autism have these behaviors because of what they are shown to and what they do. In the article it states, “As this continues, the young person is drifting further from the behavior needed, while getting locked in to the obsession.” This is exampling why they get stuck into doing it and their restricted interests in other things. This is shown to happen to Christopher Boone, because he like math and he is stuck and interested in because of him doing it a lot to cope with his parents fighting. This is shown when Christopher say, “I doubled 2's in my head because it made me feel calmer. I got to 33554432, which is 2^25, which was not very much because I've got to 2^43 before, but my brain wasn't working very well.” This is shows that he is used to doing this and used to do it often.]]> 2022-11-15 15:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384996476 Ishaq Escobar https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384999143 Autism is a behavioral disorder that restricts interests and leads people to have quite repetitive movements, but why? It is because people with autism tend to be afraid of change because change causes them to have a downward spiral. For example, near the end of the text, we are shown an example of what happens when change is introduced to a person with autism’s life. “This can turn into a cycle of increasing anxiety. Picture this scenario: a new after-school routine triggers anxiety in a young person with autism. They filter this out by becoming increasingly obsessed with gaming. It’s clear they’re not responding to the demands of the new after-school routine, so the pressure – and therefore, the anxiety – increases. So too does the filtering (gaming). As this continues, the young person is drifting further from the behavior needed, while getting locked into the obsession.” This citation demonstrates that by adding in an extra variable or that singular difference can change everything for the autistic person’s life as it causes them to hyper focus on something that distracts them even more from the change and so on and so forth. Throughout The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Nighttime, we see these qualities in Christopher throughout the novel. For example, when he was going to London to see mother, he was really confused and scared throughout the whole journey. He described his headache as being extreme and he even wet himself on the ride. All of this goes to show that for people with autism, the reason they don’t change all that much is because change really affects them negatively.]]> 2022-11-15 15:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2384999143 Allison Gayson https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385002535 Some people with autism have restrictive interests and repetitive movements because of anxiety. Christopher Boone shows this when his parents were fighting over Christopher. He went into a corner and started rocking back and fourth and banging drums to try and block the arguing. This is similar to the article when it says, “The second dimension is the rocking, twisting, flapping behavior often associated with early depictions of severe autism in the media.” Christopher also does this again with the police officer. The police officer tried to pick him up and he started making groaning noises and curled up into a ball and started rocking.]]> 2022-11-15 15:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385002535 Emerson Novick https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385003565
repetitive behaviors may offer these individuals a way to calm their anxiety, generate or maintain awareness of their bodies, focus their concentration or deal with overwhelming sensations or emotions and change is scary and uncomfortable for them. For example “ For people with autism, this can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change.“ this shows that when stressed it’s usually because of something unfamiliar you don’t understand and that change is terrifying for people with autism.]]> 2022-11-15 15:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385003565 MaryKatherine Kelly https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385004802 Autism is a behavioral diagnosis. People with autism experience anxiety and deal with new and/or unfamiliar situations in very different ways than people without autism, and have a difficult time understanding emotions. A way that those with autism deal with this is by making sounds or doing strange and repetitive behaviours to attempt to block out the outside world and enter into their own space. Due to these situations people with autism can develop an obsession with something specific, for example math or science. One clear example of this is when we see in chapter 11 where Christopher says “I rolled back onto the lawn and pressed my forehead to the ground again and made the noise that Father calls groaning. I make this noise when there is too much information coming into my head from the outside world. It is like when you are upset and you hold the radio against your ear and you tune it halfway between two stations so that all you get is white noise and then you turn the volume right up so that this is all you can hear and then you know you are safe because you cannot hear anything else.” This quote is long but is a VERY clear and accurate description of how a person with autism might act like when presented with an unfamiliar and stressful situation, and they feel in that situation. Christopher too has an obsession. Christopher is obsessed with math and science and has demonstrated this in many different occasions, like in chapter 17 where Christopher talks about the Milky Way and why you don’t see many stars in the sky, where as a nurotypical person would be panicked or worried. An example of Christopher’s difficulty understanding emotions is in chapter 53 where when Christopher learns of his mother’s death due to a heart attack, he doesn’t cry or get upset like those without autism would, instead he describes what a heart attack is and exactly what happens in the body when a person experiences a heart attack. ]]> 2022-11-15 15:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385004802 Christian Uglialoro-Reyes https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385005030 People with Autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements. For example people with autism generally find interests in one specific topic, they don’t like to try new things, but they are deeply connected with their interests. People with autism also make repetitive movements because of brain and sensory stimulation. They might act differently when put in a scenario that they haven’t experienced before. Christopher is someone who showcases autistic symptoms very clearly. He has a strong interest in math and science. Christopher also acts differently in front of most people when experiencing a conflict or trying something new. For example when Christopher was grabbed by the cop he hit him, but most people know you aren’t supposed to hurt the police because it’s a crime.]]> 2022-11-15 15:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385005030 Leah Gaines https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385006215 In the article, Why Do Some People With Autism Have Restricted Interests and Repetitive Movements? by Andrew Cashin it is seen that people with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements. People with autism tend to have these restricted interests and repetitive movements because changes can cause them anxiety. People with autism tend to have specific routines in order to prevent them from having this anxiety. We saw this with Christopher as he had an everyday routine for after school and before school. This can be seen in the article, “…the difficulty people with autism have in recognizing like or similar experiences – out of their familiar thought compartment – results in anxiety.” This anxiety from the lack of repetition can sometimes cause bad habits. This is shown in the article, “For people with autism, this can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change.”]]> 2022-11-15 15:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385006215 Juan https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385013372 Some people with autism does this repetitive movements  or have restricted interest or like they love having a routine like Christopher, they usually do this because hey are scared to try new stuff and they get lock in with these type of interest, also they usually tend to have a routine because if they don’t they get stressed and have a lot of anxiety and it’s complicated for them to deal with it as it says also on the text “Specialist intervention can effectively reduce the person’s anxiety and provide a scaffold of support by increasing their structured routine.” so we can see how a routine would help a lot the people with autism and lower their anxiety we can also see “can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change.” the change of the routine would ruin them and would affect them a Lot ]]> 2022-11-15 15:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385013372 Carlo https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385035580 What the article tells us about people with autism and how their behaviors are triggered is, due to when those who have it tend to push themselves into an anxiety state where it can lead to obsessions and intense interests or provide the need for extraordinary efforts to resist change. We can see this when in The Curious Incident with our main character Christopher Boone due to his autism was getting anxious which led to an obsession that he had to go back home to take his A -level maths.  Due to people with autism they tend to have difficulty in accepting change because of there abstract-Brians, but this anxiety is not labelled and, as an abstract concept, is not recognized. But with this they tend to not always know how to act in an new situation. As a result we see this with our main character Christopher that in the Curious Incident when faced sometimes with an new situation he tends to bottled himself up when he doesn’t know what to do, like when he slapped the Policeman because questions were getting thrown at him and he didn’t know what to do or how to act accordingly due to his Abstract-Brains.]]> 2022-11-15 15:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385035580 Helder https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385076241 This article tells us how people with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements. For example “For people with autism, this can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change.” Christopher relates to these characteristic. I know this because when he was on the train to London he was walking down the isle to get to the bathroom and he was covering his eyes so he only sees what is in front of him and not the people sitting down because he was feeling stressed about the new surroundings.]]> 2022-11-15 16:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2385076241 This short story tells us about people with autism they have less interest less things to do and don’t understand us all the time. For example, I was riding my bike and I see a kid with autism I say hello to him he says it back in a different way I could tell that he had autism because he was 1 talking different and 2 acting very weird.

We see this also in Christopher. In the article it says, "For people with autism, this can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change." Christopher can relate to this. For example. Christopher was told many times to not continue to find wellingtons killer.
He did not care so he continued to find it. Also, when Christopher was speaking to mother he wanted to go back to take he A level maths. When mother told him no, he kept repeating saying that he wanted to go.

For people with autism, this can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change. People with autism also
make repetitive movements because of brain and sensory
stimulation, So they act different depending on the situation they’re in. Like Christopher that in the Curious Incident when he faced the police situation he changed cause of the situation. A way that those with autism deal
with this is by making sounds or doing strange and repetitive
behaviours to attempt to block out the outside world and enter into their own space. Christopher in the boom he has a everyday routine like. Onnession it helps him I’m a way but the change of the routine would ruin them and would affect them a .Lot]]> 2022-11-16 04:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386002847 John C https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386723397 In most cases, people with autism have a small comfort zone and when they get out of it they struggle and have restricted interests and repetitive movements. This is seen multiple times in The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Nighttime. When Christopher gets put in stressful or uncomfortable situations he does the same thing as always. Chris puts his head down and just groans. He does this because he has autism and it is hard to be out of his comfort zone. The article also talks about anxiety levels. Just like everyone else, they have trouble with anxiety they just act or portray it in a different way then the rest. This is why people with autism have restricted interests and repetitive movements.]]> 2022-11-16 14:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386723397 Jack https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386745207 People with autism may act differently or have a hard time to communicate with other people for Chris he had a hard time to communicate with people but when he went to try ti find who killed Wellington he was practicing his communication skills and how he also how he is very picky and how most people with autism they all have some things there very good at it could be anything that’s one of there cool things they can do or how they can also be an everyday person and you wouldn’t know that they have autism]]> 2022-11-16 15:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386745207 Kashfiya https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386757876 According to this article, anxiety is a common problem for many people, yet it affects autistic people very differently. People with autism may develop obsessive behaviors from anxiety. Many various things can set them off, such as the fact that people with autism dislike being placed in situations they are unfamiliar with because they do not know how  to anticipate or respond to new situations .   Their reactions to anxiety can include compulsive thinking, difficulties concentrating, and avoiding the issue, which makes them different from other people dealing with anxiety.  While others make an effort to manage their anxiety and prevent it from being out of control. According to the article, In "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime," Christopher, the main character, fits these descriptions because, at first, he was unable to control his anxiety and would react with  violence whenever he was placed in an unfamiliar situation because he didn't know how to act in situations he was unfamiliar with. When put in situations he was new with, he would experience anxiety and he became violent since he did not know how to behave.]]> 2022-11-16 15:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386757876 Jessica m https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386824553 People with autism have restricted behaviors because their brain makes them think differently. We see this in Christopher. The article states,"For people with autism, this can push to obsessions and intense interests or provide the fuel for extraordinary efforts to resist change."Christopher strongly relates to this quote. Christopher was told many times to stop looking for wellingtons killer. He did not care how other people felt about this investigation. Adding on to that Christopher made it clear he wanted to go home, just because he’s an A level math student. When mother would not let him go he would just keep constantly reminding her that he was an A leaven math student.]]> 2022-11-16 15:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386824553 Jonathan m https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386834855 I think autism repeat because they have a lot of interest in it and also they fell comfortable doing it. Although it looks boring they also think about it and can’t change there mindset. For example people autism count to one thousand to relax and be comfortable in stress moment of there life’s. If they don’t it’s very uncomfortable and they cream yell fight.]]> 2022-11-16 15:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2386834855 Joe malone https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2387699014 People with autism may have restricted interests and repetitive movements because it can comfort them in times of anxiety and stress. The text states "Excess anxiety fuel may also leak into habitual motor activity, such as fiddling or motor tics, and ritualistic behaviors. Or it can push the person into behaviors and thinking that operates to filter out the noisy demands of the world, like obsessive behavior and rituals." This quote states that high levels of anxiety can lead to these repetitive movements and habits. In The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night-Time, Christopher can be seen with some of these habits and behaviors. For instance, when he's stressed, he starts counting prime numbers or times tables. Another behavior that Christopher shares is that he often starts to rock back and forth]]> 2022-11-17 04:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2387699014 Shyann aganancio252 https://padlet.com/jmontgomery93/4uuf0c9yd482nm19/wish/2389929618 People with autism have very limited actions because their brain doesn't allow them to think differently.

The reason for that is because they physically can’t do things that regular people can do and it’s hard to communicate with them.
