The main characteristic is the presence of the ‘triad of impairments’. This refers to difficulties with at least one of the sets of communication skills which non autistic people take for granted. These are impairment of social communication, social interaction and social understanding and imagination.Often people suffering from the triad of impairments find the world a confusing and frightening place. This can cause high levels of anxiety which can lead them to act unpredictably or unconventionally or even result in uncontrollable aggressive behaviour.
