PATTERNS INTERACTION
Characteristics of autism spectrum disorder that affect social interaction include difficulty recognizing social cues and telling when to speak or listen, as well as difficult-to-read facial expressions, which leads to social isolation.
Some children with autism spectrum disorder may not be able to communicate using speech or language, and others may have a rich vocabulary and be able to talk about specific topics in great detail.
Autistic children have problems with the meaning and rhythm of words and sentences, and may not be able to understand body language and the meanings of different vocal tones. These difficulties affect the ability of children with autism spectrum disorder to interact with others, especially people of their age.
The following are some of the patterns of language use and behavior that are often found in children with autism spectrum disorder.
REPETITIVE OR STATIC LANGUAGE:
Children with autism often say things that don't make sense or are not related to conversations with others, for example: the child may count one to five times repeatedly in the middle of a conversation that is not related to numbers.
A condition called echo. An echo occurs when a child repeats the words someone has just said, for example: a child may respond to a question by asking the same question. There is a condition called delayed echo in which a child repeats the words heard earlier.
Some children with autism speak in a high-pitched voice, sing a song, or use robot-like speech. Other children use phrases to start a conversation. For example, the child might say "My name is Tom," until you talk to friends or family.
LIMITED INTERESTS AND EXCEPTIONAL CAPABILITIES
Some children are able to make in-depth one-on-one talk about a topic of interest, although they may not be able to conduct a two-way conversation on the same topic, and others have musical talents or an advanced ability in math calculations.
DELAYED LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT:
Children with autism spectrum disorder have some speech and language skills, but they are not at the level of normal ability, and their progress is usually uneven. A child with autism may be able to read words before the age of five but may not understand what he has read. A child with autism does not usually respond to other people's speech and may not respond to his name, as a result of this it is sometimes thought that these children have a hearing problem.
