Cooperative Aspects of Communication of People Suspected of Autism

Abstract

In this article I present views on the social foundations of understanding a language and using it in an intentional way in the context of its emergence, that is, emergence in the human race. Reaching for anthropolinguistic research allows to discover the essence of the communication process by which a person can achieve life goals. I mean communication competence. Cooperation is a skill that has evolved over the course of evolution to ensure that people survive in a dangerous and diverse world. The aim of the study was to analyze selected communication situations of children (three years old) suspected of having an autism spectrum in which the aspect of cooperation should be revealed. However, it turned out that in children with autism spectrum, speech development was blocked at the stage of regulation of interaction with the environment. The ability to cooperate led people to create highly organized societies whose relations are regulated through communication. This thesis should be an implication in the diagnosis and therapy of people with language communication disorders and delays in language acquisition, in order to develop in those patients the ability to interact, participate in different social situations, thus affecting their level of language, cognitive and executive skills.
