Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Teresa Girolamo; Samantha Ghali; Caroline Larson – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Despite the clinical utility of sentence production and sentence repetition to identify language impairment in autism, little is known about the extent to which these tasks are sensitive to potential language variation. One promising method is strategic scoring, which has good clinical utility for identifying language impairment in…

Normal but Different: Autistic Adolescents Who Score within Normal Ranges on Standardized Language Tests Produce Frequent Linguistic Irregularities in Spontaneous Discourse
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Emily R. Zane; Ruth B. Grossman – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: A substantial minority of autistic individuals score within typical ranges on standard language tests, suggesting that autism does not necessarily affect language acquisition. This idea is reflected in current diagnostic criteria for autism, wherein language impairment is no longer included. However, some work has suggested…

As a…

Kirsten Abbot-Smith; Danielle Matthews; Colin Bannard; Joshua Nice; Louise Malkin; David Williams; William Hobson – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Keeping a conversation going is the social glue of friendships. The DSM criteria for autism list difficulties with back-and-forth conversation but does not necessitate that all autistic children will be equally impacted. We carried out three studies (two pre-registered) with verbally fluent school children (age 5-9 years) to investigate how…

Jente Verbesselt; Jeroen Breckpot; Inge Zink; Ann Swillen – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Individuals with proximal 16p11.2 copy number variants (CNVs), either deletions (16p11.2DS) or duplications (16p11.2Dup), are predisposed to neurodevelopmental difficulties and disorders, such as language disorders, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder. The purpose of the current study was to characterize language…
