PATTERNS INTERACTIO

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.

REPETITIVE OR STATIC LANGUAGE:

Children with autism often say things that dont 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 peoples speech and may not respond to his name, as a result of this it is sometimes thought that these children have a hearing problem.
