Social communication difficulties/ Autistic Spectrum Disorder
Children may be able to understand spoken instructions and form sentences with the correct vocabulary. However, they may have difficulties with the use of language. They may have difficulties understanding idioms, jokes and taking language literally for example teacher says “pull your socks up “ and the child mis understands the subtle social meaning to study more and literally pulls their socks up.
They may have difficulties with the non-verbal aspects of language such as avoiding eye contact, speaking loudly and not taking turns in conversations appropriately.
Difficulties with social communication and social interaction may be part of an overall difficulty such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder, and Aspergers Syndrome where children experience difficulties with imagination, flexibility and making friends.
