These methods of communication can be useful for building vocabularies of individuals with limited speech. Other individuals may have a vast vocabulary, but due to rigid sets of interests may only use repetitive speech which means their communication can be out of context, making conversations difficult. 2. - Problems that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have in social interaction and relationships Due to the social difficulties linked with autism, individuals often find social interaction and the building of relationships very difficult. Individuals with autism often have difficulties reading non-verbal forms of communication, such as body language, and find it hard to relate to other people’s feelings and emotions, which can effect their responses to a social situation as they will appear out of context or inappropriate.

1.1 describe the types of difficulty that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have with language and other ways of communicating with others The communication difficulties of autism vary from individual to individual. Some individual maybe unable to communicate verbally whilst others have an extreme vocab and are able to discuss un-depth areas of interest to them, some are able to communicate their needs and are able to express themselves whilst others need more visual methods such as pec’s or makaton. Expression of their needs can be very frustrating and they can only communicate this by shouting or screaming/challenging behaviours including self-harm. Individuals with ASD sometimes find it difficult or are unable to understand
Unit 28: Introductory Awareness of Autistic Spectrum Conditions Unit code: LD 210 Unit ref number: M/601/5316 QCF Level: 2 Credit Value: 2 1. Understand the area's in which individuals with an autistic spectrum condition characteristically have difficulties. 1.1 Describe the types of difficulty that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have with language and other ways of communicating with others.

However, they all have difficulties with using language, being unable to talk and express their selves effectively and often having problems in processing and understanding the language and communication of others.
UNIT 4222-253 INTRODUCTORY AWARENESS OF AUTISTIC SPECTRUM CONDITIONS (LD210) OUTCOME 1 People with an Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) have difficulties with both verbal and non-verbal communication. They have a very literal interpretation and think people mean exactly what they say, they have difficulty understanding facial expressions and tone of voice, jokes and sarcasm and common phrases for example if you said “my feet are killing me” they probably would think they actually were. They lack empathy and don't understand unwritten social rules and they have difficulty understanding body language. Individuals with an autistic spectrum condition have difficulty with social communication, social integration and social imagination. Some may not be able to speak or have fairly limited speech, whilst other will have good language skills but not understand the give-and-take nature of speech and will often talk at length about themselves and their own interests.
Children with learning difficulties will need extra support with certain areas of development and may develop a low self-esteem because they get annoyed with themselves for not being able to do something, such as a simple numeracy problem, or read a book. If a child has sensory impairment, a hearing problem this would influence their development, it could affect their speech and communication and may make them feel they are unable to join in with

The individual’s right are particularly important when using specific communication methods and language because it’s their major way of communicating their needs and preferences. Communication is a basic human right. Without communication the individual is unable to realise or exercise their rights. Under the Human Rights Act 1998 all individuals have the right to ‘freedom of expression’. If unable to communicate they would be denied these rights.
Their behavior may seem odd, unusual or even bizarre at times. They sometimes hear voices, talk to themselves, or respond to imaginary fears. At times, normal individuals may feel, think, or act in ways that resemble schizophrenia. Normal people may sometimes be unable to "think straight." They may become extremely anxious, for example, when speaking in front of groups and may feel confused, be unable to pull their thoughts together, and forget what they had intended to say.
