Social (pragmatic) communication disorder is characterized by difficulty using communication appropriately in social situations. Symptoms include problems with social reciprocity, difficulty with nonverbal communication, problems with understanding and using language in social contexts, and difficulties engaging in conversations. Children with this disorder may tend to talk at others rather than with others and have limited awareness of others' feelings. Symptoms must be present in multiple contexts and cannot be better explained by another developmental or medical condition.
