Recognizing and understanding emotions in themselves and in others is so very important. You know this!

Autistic children often find it hard to: recognize emotions, facial expressions and other emotional cues like tone of voice and body language. show and manage their own emotions. understand and respond to other people's emotions – they might lack, or seem to lack, empathy with others.

Empathy is the ability to share and understand another person’s feelings.

Communication difficulties. Autistic people can find it difficult to express their wants and needs, from a non-verbal child struggling to express their need for a drink to a teenager finding it hard to express their emotions. This can result in overwhelming feelings, such as anger and frustration, leading to a meltdown.

An autistic person needs to find ways to understand and express their emotions appropriately before they get overwhelmed, and find ways to make your own communication more easily understandable. Autistic people may find verbal communication difficult due to misunderstanding body language, tone of voice, irony and sarcasm.
