Condition
Social Communication Disorder
Difficulty using language socially without autism's repetitive behaviours.
Social (pragmatic) communication disorder affects how a child greets, takes turns, adapts language to a listener, and understands jokes or indirect requests, without the restricted and repetitive behaviours seen in autism.
Early signs
- Talks at people rather than with them
- Misses social cues and body language
- Difficulty making and keeping friends
How it is diagnosed
- Pragmatic language assessment
- Peer observation
Our approach
- Orange runs small social skills groups matched by age and profile, with video-based feedback and parent debriefs.
