-
Being able to educate family, friends, and neighbors about your child’s unique way of being when appropriate.
-
Being able to educate your child about his unique way of being in order to promote self-awareness and self-advocacy, as needed.
-
Understanding and appreciating sooner your child’s lifelong unique qualities, personal needs, and talents.
-
Experience greater success in school. Be better prepared for higher education, or trade school

In addition to the impairments listed above, there can be additional features present.
1. Intellectual abilities can vary widely. The characteristics of autism range from individuals with limited cognitive ability to individuals who have high intelligence.
2. There can be an uneven developmental profile, so an individual may be very skilled in one area (e.g., able to read at a much higher grade level than peers) but is unable to master a basic skill in another area (e.g., unable to manage buttons or tie shoes).
3. People with autism may experience different perceptual responses to the environment. Many people with autism report that their sensory system is always hyper-aroused and that the environment is overwhelming. This can lead to inappropriate behaviors as they attempt to avoid touch, loud sounds, bright lights, strong smells, etc.
4. Other individuals with autism will seek out sensory input, such as deep pressure on the body, which they find calming.
5. There may be challenges with sleep patterns, food preferences, and toileting.
6. Executive functioning abilities can be affected. Executive functioning is the ability to plan and organize events, such as preparing for the day by packing and organizing the necessary items. Challenges with executive functioning also leave individuals with an impaired ability to use critical thought or solve problems effectively. With impaired ability to solve problems, individuals with ASD become highly frustrated, which can lead to rigid or anxious behaviors.
7. Most individuals with autism report issues with anxiety, which can be extreme at times. Managing their environment and trying to understand social interactions can be extremely difficult and can lead to apprehension and worry over what to expect in new or confusing situations.
What is Language Processing?
Understanding how your child develops language skills can be quite helpful as it helps you communicate better with them and also helps your speech therapist choose appropriate lines of therapy for them.
There are two types of language processing: Analytical & Gestalt.
-
Analytical language processing- Child understands and learns the meaning of single words, following which they start using the words in their own phrases. It's like learning from basics to complex.
-
Gestalt language processing-Children instead of learning the meaning of one word at a time, memorize whole phrases/ sentences. They work backwards by breaking phrases to single words. A child with gestalt language processing often presents as delayed echolalia, it is where a child hears a phrase and repeats/ echoes it later on.
My son has been taking online speech therapy sessions for Autism. The biggest challenge was to make him sit and establish a connection with him. He has a short attention span and a lot of accompanying behaviors. He was minimally verbal when we started the sessions. He now speaks in sentences. Sounderic team managed it all so well. We were given guidance in every session and the home training plan was very effective. I can say that Sounderic has the best speech therapist in India. - Lavina, Mother of a 5-year-old

Few of the evidence-based speech therapy techniques for autism used at Sounderic:
Naturalistic Language Strategies:
These are child-centered and take place during naturally occurring routines and activities. This approach promotes communication and language development through environmental arrangement, responsive communication partners, prompting, modeling, and reinforcement.
Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS):
It is a behaviorally based, alternative communication system based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and B.F.Skinner’s Verbal Behavior. PECS teaches the child to become an initiator of communication by exchanging a picture symbol for the desired object, etc.
Social Narratives:
Social narratives are interventions that describe social situations in some detail by highlighting relevant cues and offering examples of appropriate responses.
Imitation and Modeling:
Imitation and modeling are prerequisite skills for the development of various skills including communication.
Applied behavior analysis (ABA)
ABA is a notable technique involving assessment, treatment, encouraging desired behaviors, and discouraging undesirable behavior in the child.
Play and interaction intervention
It involves interaction between children and parents to stimulate imitation, joint attention skills, or the child’s ability to be involved in symbolic play.
Sensory integration therapy
Aims at helping the child improve responses to sensory stimuli that can be overwhelming.

Important Points to Consider
If you seek a diagnosis of autism for your child, keep these points in mind:
-
A diagnosis does not change your child. He/She is still intrinsically,
who he/she is as a person.
-
It can open up the door to receiving help and support at school; through support groups where your child can meet others, they can identify with.
-
Before visiting a specialist, make sure your child is aware of what the appointment will be like. This may mean visiting the office ahead of the appointment day so your child will be familiar with it, marking the day of the visit on a calendar so your child can feel prepared, and allowing your child to bring a comfort object.
-
Educating yourself on this condition will make you a better resource for your child when he/she needs your compassion and support.
