Understanding Symptoms When a person with autism walked into the room, he notices things that aren't’ as relevant-the sound coming from outside the window, a pattern in the carpet, a flickering light bulb,” Dawson tells WebMD. “He’s missing out on the relevant details that would help him understand the situation.
