UNDERSTANDING AUTISM
Autism Spectrum Disorders impair three main areas of human development: speech, communication, and social interaction. These impairments may range from mild to severe.
Individuals on the autism spectrum may lack speech altogether or may be delayed in their acquisition and use of language. They may repeat words (echolalia) in place of normal verbal communication and they may recite entire lines of text from books, movies or computer games out of context for no apparent reason. Some individuals with autism never develop gestures such as pointing to requested objects or waving good-bye. Individuals with ASD’s may find it difficult or impossible to hold a conversation or may compulsively steer the conversation to one subject.
In the area of social communication, there may be a lack of response to verbal requests or no response when the person’s name is called. Similarly, they often fail to connect to the names for other people and they often confuse pronouns. Almost universally, individuals on the autistic continuum are unable to interpret facial expressions or emotions. They may establish only fleeting eye contact, if they any at all. They also often experience difficulty transitioning from one activity to another.
