Autism and Communication
Communication is a multi-faceted, complex interaction, involving, understanding non-verbal cues, tone of voice, facial expressions, different purposes of conversation.
Communication can, therefore, be difficult for some autistic young people. Many want to be included within the classroom and wider community, but find it difficult because of the many social conventions others appear to seamlessly know.
Young autistic people experiencing such difficulties may find it hard to understand the messages being given, such as the meaning others put into their voice, the expressions on their faces, and gestures such as waving, pointing, or shrugging.
