It's not that different from non-autistic people. Autistic people have brains that may not function as fast and so their answer or response may be completely off of subject or you may not know what they are saying. They usually have their own little world in their head. They may talk to themselves, not be as social, talk about the most random things. Autistic people are different. That's what makes them special. Not that non-autistic people aren't special in their own way.
Communication is difficult for individuals with Autism. The cause is unknown, but many scientists believe it is due to a variety of conditions that occur during brain development either before or after birth.

There are many effects of communication. Good communication can solve a great number of problems that are in the world.
No, most Autistic children won't learn ASL.Although there are Autistic children who may be non-verbal or deaf so will learn ASL as a means of communication, not all Autistic people need to use sign language to communicate. Also of course not all Autistic people are American so will learn different languages.
