social communication disorder - answerPersistent difficulties in the social use of verbal
and nonverbal communication as manifest by deficits in the following:
1) Using communication for social purposes, such as greeting and sharing information,
in a manner that is appropriate for the social context;
2) Changing communication to match context or the needs of the listener, such as
speaking differently in a classroom than on a playground, communicating differently to a
child than to an adult, and avoiding use of overly formal language. ;
3) Following rules for conversation and storytelling, such as taking turns in conversation,
rephrasing when misunderstood, and knowing how to use verbal and nonverbal signals
to regulate interaction;
4) Understanding what is not explicitly stated (e.g. inferencing) and nonliteral or
ambiguous meanings of language, for example, idioms, jokes, metaphors and multiple
meanings that depend on the context for interpretation.
B. Deficits result in functional limitations in effective communication, social participation,
social relationships, academic achievement, or occupational performance.
