For example, autistic children often exhibit stereotypy. Children with attention-deficit disorder are easily distracted, and while they often start tasks with a bang, they usually finish with a whimper. Children with sensory-perceptual abnormalities often have especially acute senses of touch or hearing and may therefore weep and wail as if being stabbed when dressed in new clothes that feel different than their old ones.
舉例而言，自閉症的孩子常有「固著」行為，注意力缺失症的孩子則容易顯得心不在焉、虎頭蛇尾；感官知覺處理功能失常的孩子，則會對觸覺或聽覺特別敏銳，例如穿上質感不同的新衣服，就宛如被刺傷般哭鬧不休。
