Unusual Emotional Reactions
Perhaps the better term is intense emotional reactions. People on the spectrum can be extremely sensitive and have difficulty responding appropriately to different situations. It's especially trying when it involves social interactions.
Also, some individuals with ASD can develop emotional difficulties involving other autism symptoms, such as poor reactions to change and a focus that seems to be solely on themselves. However, early intervention can help people on the spectrum learn to respond appropriately most of the time.
