In milder cases on the autism spectrum, there can be problems in social interaction with peers. Children with Asperger's syndrome may be bullied at school due to their idiosyncratic behavior, interests, and impaired ability to perceive and respond in socially expected ways to nonverbal cues. They may also be extremely literal and have difficulty interpreting and responding to sarcasm or banter.
WHAT CAUSES COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS IN AUTISM OR ASPERGER'S?
The causes of speech and language problems in Autism Spectrum Disorders are still unknown, though experts believe that the difficulties are caused by a variety of conditions that occur either before, during, or after birth affecting brain development. The individual's ability to interpret and interact with the world is affected, and some scientists tie the communication problems to a theory of mind or impaired ability to think about thoughts or imagine another individual's state of mind. Associated with this inability to see another's point of view is an impaired ability to symbolize, both when trying to communicate and in play.
