“…Because aberrant and/or idiosyncratic behaviors evidently differ from pre-linguistic forms of communication, which constitute precursors of linguistic forms of reference and communication in typical speech-language acquisition, they should perhaps be labeled and treated differently and more tentatively interpreted as forms of communication. Thus, when it comes to describing the socio-pragmatic functions of individuals with such extreme communicative restrictions, it may be best to refer to such behaviors as “potential communicative acts” (as suggested by Sigafoos, Woodyatt, Keen, et al, 2000 ) instead of non-symbolic or pre-linguistic forms of communication ( Didden et al, 2010; Siegel-Causey & Guess, 1989; von Tetzchner et al, 1996 ).…”

Highlights► Various body movements, facial expressions, eye movements, and vocalizations were used to communicate. ► Non-verbal communicative forms dominated over verbal-communicative forms for most communicative functions. ► Early peculiarities in the speech-language domain during the first year of life became more prominent and evident during the second year of life. ► Socio-communicative deficits are present before regression and persist after this period. ► Assessing socio-communicative forms and functions at early age in children with RTT might essentially contribute to early detection.
