Splinter skills are commonly seen in children diagnosed with Autism- and all this means is that basically their development is happening in a different way than most kids.

Most kids meet developmental milestones in a somewhat predictable manner and order. (If I could remake this, I’m made the typical path have shaded in areas around that little line because there is variety in how typical kids develop!)

Autistic kids don’t necessarily follow the same path and order when it comes to development - although some do! This is when we might see them develop a higher level skill (let’s say name specific dinosaurs or recite a long script) before than can do skills most kids are able to do at an early age (ask for help, use single words).

When kids develop language in a path that is different from what we typically expect, this could indicate we need to consider further testing to consider an Autism diagnosis. But remember - Autism is a constellation of characteristics, and differences in one area alone should not result in a diagnosis ❤️
