(Unit 7) Topic 3: Understanding Autism 

2 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education

Communication Difficulties

​Topic 3 Page 7

Picture
​Those who are only mildly affected may only present slight delays in language. Some even develop quite extensive vocabularies. However, they can have difficulty sustaining conversation or engaging in “give-and-take” exchange. Some have a tendency to carry on long monologues and do not let others a chance to have input.  
Children and adults with autism can have difficulty understanding physical gestures and body language as well. 
In addition, their gestures, facial expressions, and movements may not match what they are saying (i.e. smiling while they are actually sad). They may also have trouble understanding tone of voice and sarcasm. Those with autism tend to take language quite literally.  
​Repetitive and/or Atypical Behaviors 
Those with autism can develop unusual obsessions/compulsions and repetitive behaviors.   
Here are some of the most common: ​​    
  • Hand flapping
  • Rocking back and forth
  • Spinning in a circle
  • Finger flicking
  • Head banging
  • Staring at lights
  • Moving fingers in front of the eyes
  • Repeating words or noises 
  • Snapping fingers
  • Tapping ears
  • Scratching
  • Lining up toys
  • Spinning objects
  • Wheel spinning
  • Watching moving objects
  • Flicking light switches on and off
