ASD: Social Communication Impairments

One thing that can impact on how people with ASD present themselves is their deficit in social communication. ASD comprises challenges of part-taking in society and that can be seen by the special way each individual has to present himself.
Human beings are a social species, even though individuals with ASD show a failure of typical responses to everyday social events during the process of socialisation (Selfe, 2013). If the individual with ASD has no support, the deficits in social communication cause perceptible impairments.

For example, Individuals with ASD may show: difficulties initiating social interactions; decreased interest in social interactions; reduced or abnormal response to overtures from others; issues in verbal and non-verbal social communication such as understanding social cues, facial expressions or gestures; or difficulties to cope with eye-gaze or joint attention experiences.
