Explanation:

Autism is associated with a strong need for consistent routines. Individuals with autism often rely on sameness and structured routines for comfort. Normal social skills, normal behavior patterns, and reduced intellectual abilities are not typical defining symptoms (many with autism have varied intellectual abilities, and social/behavioral patterns are often atypical, not normal). So the need for highly consistent routines is a key symptom.

Answer:

the need for highly consistent routines
