Students with Autism often exhibit difficulties in
expressive communication. According to the National Consortium for
Deaf-Blindness, expressive communication, "involves
sending a message to another person(s) to (a) make something happen or (b) stop
something that is already happening." In order for students with Autism to
practice expressive communication, they must be able to communicate what it is that
they either want or do not want. Students with Autism face problems such as
understanding figurative language (metaphors, similes, and irony). They also
have difficulty grasping main ideas, understanding complex sentences, and with
speaking too loudly or too fast.
