Great tips by !

Splinter skills are commonly seen in children diagnosed with Autism- and all this means is that basically their development is happening in a different way than most kids.

Most kids meet developmental milestones in a somewhat predictable manner and order. (If I could remake this, I’m made the typical path have shaded in areas around that little line because there is variety in how typical kids develop!)

Autistic kids don’t necessarily follow the same path and order when it comes to development - although some do! This is when we might see them develop a higher level skill (let’s say name specific dinosaurs or recite a long script) before than can do skills most kids are able to do at an early age (ask for help, use single words).

When kids develop language in a path that is different from what we typically expect, this could indicate we need to consider further testing to consider an Autism diagnosis. But remember - Autism is a constellation of characteristics, and differences in one area alone should not result in a diagnosis ❤️

Honored. :)

Saw this today. 🙂

Language is a super complex concept (I mean like when I think about it, my mind is genuinely blown that typical development is what it is because it’s SO much!). With that said, there’s a lot to language development that you don’t see and most parents don’t realize usually happens before kids are able to communicate with words!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🧩

I definitely agree! 🧩

❤️❤️ Raising Little Talkers

Don’t correct- Simply repeat what your child says with correct words/sounds/grammar!!

An autism mom once asked me, "How do I get my autistic child interested in dating? I'd really like them to be in a relationship" - Temple Grandin, one of the most famous autistic advocates in the world is single and doesn't have an interest in romantic relationships. Her 'love' in her life is her key interest. And that's perfectly ok.

I think sometimes in our society there's a stigma that being in a relationship is an upgraded version of being single which isn't always the case.

Should we share with our loved ones the benefits and potential pitfalls of dating/being in a relationship? Absolutely! Just make sure they know their success isn't predicated on their relationship status.

I'm currently single and happy. Do I hope to be in a relationship one day? Yes but that time will come. :) - Kerry, An Autistic Relationship Coach



I regularly speak around the world on topics such as autism and relationships. I've written a book called Autism and Falling in Love.

Did you know that when a child is having trouble responding to their name, you should actually limit how much you say it? I have tips for limiting the use of their name in conversation if you'd like them!
