People with autism spectrum disorder ASD can have a wide range of verbal abilities. Some may be entirely non-verbal , some may have limited useful speech, and some may speak fluently and intelligibly. When a person's verbal abilities are limited or atypical, it can make it hard to communicate—to express ideas appropriately so that others understand them. Challenges with using language and difficulty communicating are hallmark symptoms of ASD and typically go hand-in-hand. To a greater or lesser extent largely dependent on which level of autism they have been diagnosed with children can improve their verbal and communication skills with therapies designed to address these challenges.
