"My daughter speaks clearly and knows so many words, but conversations don’t flow the way they should. She struggles to take turns while talking, misses social cues, and often says things that seem out of place. Other kids sometimes walk away, and I see the confusion in her eyes. That’s when I realized it wasn’t about intelligence — it was Social Communication Disorder."
Signs Parents May Notice at Home or School
Talks a lot about their own interests but doesn’t notice when others lose interest. Has trouble taking turns in conversations — interrupts or goes silent. Struggles to stay on topic or gives too much / too little detail.
Doesn’t notice when someone looks bored, confused, or upset. Misunderstands jokes, sarcasm, or indirect requests. Often takes things very literally (“break a leg” causes confusion or worry).
Finds it hard to make or keep friends. May not know how to join group play or conversations. Gets left out because peers feel the child’s responses are “odd” or “off.”
Struggles with group discussions, storytelling, or class participation. Teacher may say: “Very smart, but doesn’t get social rules.” Difficulty explaining ideas clearly to others.
