Communicating with someone with autism can pose certain challenges. The person may not understand your instruction clearly, or they may not be able to express themselves adequately. One of the main challenges someone experiences with autism involves deficits in social skills. Not only may they face challenges verbally communicating, but they may also not display or interpret body language appropriately, which can be frustrating to them. Learning a new activity or advancing a skill can be even more difficult for people with autism without the right supports.
