Symptom Number  8: Has Obsessive Interests

Healthline

Another symptom in children with ASD is having obsessive interests. This means that they become incredibly fixated on particular things of interest to them, whether it’s a toy, an activity, or even certain topic of conversation. While they might hold on to a favorite toy or particular interest, which they may obsess over for days, weeks, even months or years. For some autistic children, this type of behavior helps them feel less stressed, working as a way to help them cope with their environment and surroundings.
