Picture symbol: I, you

Using Pronouns
Individuals with autism often have a hard time with pronouns, frequently reversing “I” and “you.” Experts disagree on why this happens, but many contend that people with ASD have difficulty understanding that a person who is referred to as “you” in one context is labeled “I” in another. This picture provides some visual clarification on when it’s appropriate to say “I” or “you.” Pictures such as these can help illustrate instruction on social behavior.
