Another characteristic of autism is repetitive behaviors, obsessions, and unusual interests. For example, repetitive behaviors like rocking or walking on tiptoes may be observed; these behaviors can increase during moments of intense stress or joy.\n          <\/p>\n          <p>\n            Additionally, individuals with autism may insist on the preservation of routines and the stability of their environmental order. Since autism manifests in different levels and combinations in each individual, needs and support plans must be tailored to the person.\n          <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div>\n          <div class=\"video-wrap\">\n            <iframe\n              src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4O2hzDAnXRw\"\n              title=\"Autism Spectrum Disorder\"\n              loading=\"lazy\"\n              allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\"\n              referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"\n              allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Bireyselle\u015ftirilmi\u015f Notu -->\n        <div class=\"note-inline\">\n          <p class=\"note-text\">\n            Autism is not a single-type profile; communication styles, sensory sensitivities, areas of interest, and daily living skills can vary across a wide spectrum.
