Austisic children learn in different ways, some have an easier time with colors or object. But names are hard to comprehend. My son who is 5 is just now understanding when he looks at my picture that I am Mama. He can not say his name with out being prompt, but he can name every dinosaur there are.
A book that might help you understand more about autisim is;

Thank you for your response. That does make sense because she does have an easy time with colors and objects. But names are difficult for her. Example, when I say "Lori can you give Daddy a strawberry?" she will give it to me. Or when I say "where is Lori's eyes?" she will always point to my eyes. Very confusing to say the least. ↑ |
