Not speaking is not the same
thing as having nothing to say
Many people on the autism spectrum
have great difficulty learning and
using conventional language. Even
with intensive intervention programs,
as many as 20-30% of ASD
individuals remain non-verbal, while
many others acquire only a low or
moderate amount of verbal language
that may or may not be functional
for everyday life. This website
presents the use of drawing as an
alternate mode of communication for
individuals on the autism spectrum.
