My neighbour's daughter is severely autistic. She is six years old and does not talk at all. She is going to special classes at school that are designed for children with disabilities such as autism, and after 2 years she is still not communicating. I really don't know how well she's doing in school otherwise, but she doesn't even make eye contact.
I'm curious though, what is the best way to help an autistic child communicate? I don't think her parents are really trying to help her!
