What effect do changes in daily routine typically have on students with ASD?

They adapt easily to changes
They may experience distress and upset
They show increased motivation
They prefer randomness in activities

The correct answer is: They may experience distress and upset

Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often rely on routines and predictability to navigate their environments comfortably. Changes in their daily routine can disrupt their sense of security and understanding of what to expect, leading to distress and upset. This reaction is rooted in their preference for structure and consistent patterns, which help them cope with the complexities of social interactions and sensory stimuli. When faced with unexpected changes, students with ASD may experience anxiety, frustration, or confusion, making it essential for educators and caregivers to provide clear communication and support during transitions.
