2 The Triad The three main areas of difficulty which all people with autism share are sometimes known as the Triad of Impairments, as first described by Lorna Wing
3 Difficulty with Social Communication Difficulty with Social Communication Individuals with severe autism may never develop any speech whilst some speak fluently, using full sentences. The may experience difficulties in the following: Processing language and interpreting facial expressions, body language or tone of voice. Understanding figures of speech or metaphors. Their literal understanding means that they will think you mean exactly what you say. Therefore, they would find metaphors such as she bit my head off confusing and even frightening. Following long or complicated sentences, and they might only be able to follow one simple instruction at a time. Explaining how they feel. Some like to repeat the last word of your sentence when asked a question. Others may say things more than once echolalia
4 Difficulty with Social Interaction A person with classic autism may appear withdrawn, aloof or uninterested in the people they meet and have difficulties around social relationships. Some of the things you might notice are: Avoiding eye contact (because they cannot process the information overload of speech, facial expression and body language). Standing too close when talking to someone unaware of personal space. Not realizing when the person they are talking to is cross or tired. Laughing or speaking at inappropriate times. Showing no interest in other people s opinions or interests.
5 Difficulty with Social Imagination Social imagination allows us to understand and predict other people s behaviour, make sense of abstract ideas, and to imagine situations outside our immediate daily routine. Difficulties with social imagination mean that people with autism find it hard to: Imagine the world from someone else s perspective and understand that other people may have different thoughts and feelings from their own. Interpret other people s thoughts, feelings and actions. Predict what will happen next, or what could happen next. Understand the concept of danger, for example that running on to a busy road poses a threat to them. Prepare for change and plan for the future. Cope in new or unfamiliar situations.
6 Social imagination Structure the environment so that they can make sense of it.
