7.Lack of interest in peers:
The absence of interest in connecting with other children is a prevalent symptom among children with autism. They tend to enjoy solitary play, which may make it challenging for them to build friendships and can lead to feelings of isolation.
Children with autism may not initiate social interactions or may not respond when other children try to connect with them. They may also have a hard time understanding social cues and the dynamics of social interactions such as taking turns or sharing.

They may be more inclined towards solitary activities such as collecting objects or playing with a specific toy, rather than interactive play with other children.
