Difficulty with social communication
Individuals on the autism spectrum may have difficulties with both verbal and non-verbal language and take a very literal response to what people say.

Difficulties with social interaction
Individuals on the autistic spectrum may have great difficulty interpreting other people’s emotions and feelings and are often challenged when expressing their own.

Difficulty with social imagination
Social imagination is what allows us to understand and predict other people’s behavior, to make sense of abstract ideas, and to imagine situations outside our daily routines. For the non-autistic child these skills evolve naturally through the normal childhood development process. It is widely agreed that individuals on the autistic spectrum do not undergo childhood development at the same harmonious rate that their non-autistic counterparts do. They may be extraordinarily developed in one particular area whilst considerably challenged in another.
