Autism-World

• Auditory verbal agnosia, e.g., struggling to find words for familiar objects.
• ??Difficulty in communicating with speech and language, e.g., problems understanding what is said (receptive dysphasia)
• Difficulty in putting thoughts into words (expressive dysphasia).
• Difficulty in understanding words spoken or written by others. This symptom is often mistaken for a hearing problem, as the child seems to ignore people.
  Other aspects of learning are probably not affected by LKS, and it is rare for children to suffer from damage to their intellectual abilities. About two-thirds of affected children.
