* Some children with Autism may not be able to communicate using speech, and some have very limited speaking skills. Others may have rich vocabularies and be able to talk about specific subjects in great detail. They have problems with the meaning and rhythm of words and sentences. Is important for the children to have a full speech pathology evaluation to determine the extent of the problem and the therapeutic approach to treat them. *
Yes it can. Due to the difficulty coordinating the use of their tongue, lips, mouth and jaw to produce speech. If problem is present I would start taking her to a speech therapist .
