The good news is that there are some signs you can look out for that may indicate your child needs help in this area. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures and understanding body language. If your child is struggling with any of these aspects of communication, speech therapy may be beneficial.
