My Son is nine and has ASC, despite advice from professionals some with experience or Autism training about how to communicate with our Son who has speech but has communication and language delays, his Dad cannot seem to communicate with him without taking into account our Sons communication differences. He will speak quickly, use jargon or slang and not make eye contact, in contrast he will occasionally speak to him in broken English.,He will rarely use pictures or makaton. I can panic.and find communication difficult when we’re in a situation where there’s a potential for a meltdown or tantrum and I can’t think quickly enough but as I rule I speak clearly to him use simple language, pictures and makaton. This communication issue is causing my Son to lash out often and I feel by both his parents communicating with him more effectively this could be significantly reduced. Any advice please?
