Before we kick off, Happy Valentine's day!!! We communicate each day of our lives. Even without words, we’re still communicating. Now, we can communicate with our facial expressions, with colors and also with cards too. The most striking feature of autism is social interaction . Social Interaction meaning communication in general. Individuals with ASD have limited or no understanding to people’s feelings and emotions. They also have problems in non-verbal communication and making eye- contact. I literally try hard to psych my brother out. I’m always looking at him and each time he meets my eyes, he averts it away. I know it’s mean, but sometimes, I just really love it. With social interaction, comes having relationships. It can be difficult for people with ASD to make or keep friends. Tobi, my little brother is a natural charmer and people love him, but he doesn’t really love talking to people, if you get what I mean. There’s this woman in our estate that always greets him
