ASDs are strange in that the outward manifestation is often at odds with what's really going on.

We're currently working on a mobile app for a process my daughter has created that allows autistic children who are non-verbal to learn to build sentences. It is amazing that kids can go through years without speaking then, within weeks or months, to be able to communicate in fully-formed sentences. The Proloquo2go app has changed a lot of lives; but it doesn't get learners to the point of sentence building, and that's a problem. Her technique goes beyond that. Many kids who are believed to be incapable of learning today are fountains of knowledge that just can't get out.
