Focus on Self
People with high-functioning autism may have issues developing deep social relationships with others. Part of this issue also includes a low focus on self. A person with high-functioning autism may spend a high amount of time talking about themselves, not allowing another person to share a complete thought or response. This makes having a conversation difficult. In the family or household setting, a person with high-functioning autism may only think of themselves when performing activities. For example, they might serve themselves a meal without asking if anyone else would also like a plate. They might take more than what others think as a fair share of a snack or meal, genuinely not putting others into consideration.
