It varies from person to person. But many families find that the transition from childhood to adolescence\u2014around ages 9 to 14\u2014can be especially tough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This stage brings new challenges as social pressures, emotional changes, and the need for more independence kick in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is the Transition So Hard?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As children with autism grow older, they face different obstacles. The challenges tend to shift in both emotional and social areas. Here are a few reasons why this time can be particularly hard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Increased social demands<\/strong>: The older kids get, the more complex social interactions become. Peer relationships take on more importance. Misunderstandings and difficulty with social cues can stand out more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heightened sensory sensitivities<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/ablestarsaba.com\/blog\/sensory-processing-disorder-test-and-aba\/\">Sensory sensitivities<\/a>, like being overwhelmed by bright lights or loud noises, often don\u2019t go away as children grow older. In fact, they can get stronger, making daily situations harder to handle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Changing expectations at school<\/strong>: As children grow, academic expectations increase. This can put more pressure on kids to perform. The combination of higher expectations and social challenges can make school more difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Autism, Anxiety &amp; Depression: How to Help Your Teen Cope | AAP\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/isQFu1t96UQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How ABA Therapy Can Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/ablestarsaba.com\/blog\/how-aba-therapy-changes-behavior\/\">ABA therapy<\/a> can make a real difference.

What are the signs of autism in teenagers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teenagers with autism may struggle with social interactions, have sensory sensitivities, or find it hard to adjust to changes in school or social expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Can ABA therapy help teenagers with autism?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! ABA therapy is effective for people of all ages, including teenagers. It helps improve social communication, emotional regulation, and adjusting to new situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. How long does it take to see results from ABA therapy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It varies, but many families notice improvements in social skills, behavior, and communication within a few months of consistent therapy.
