    The inability to process their raw emotions.

    When an adult hears disappointing news, they say ok, and think about how they can get a better outcome next time.

    A child starts yelling and crying and hitting.

    Tell a kid that there’s a pizza party later, and they’ll want a PIZZA PARTY RIGHT NOW!

    Adults are able to wait until later without bouncing off the walls or whining for it to happen now.

      What about autistic adults who have interests that aren’t necessarily appropriate for their age? Some people consider it childish to be interested in teletubbies, picture books or duplos.
