Summary

Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience delayed language development, affecting comprehension and pragmatics. Early intervention addressing both language and behavior, including visual aids for auditory processing deficits, is crucial.

Area of Science:

  • Neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Speech and language pathology

Background:

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is frequently associated with language delays.
  • Language impairments in ASD range from phonological and syntactical deficits to semantic and discourse formulation issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize language development challenges in children with autism spectrum disorder.
  • To highlight abnormal language features and electrophysiological findings in autism.
  • To recommend appropriate interventions for language deficits in autism.

Main Methods:

  • Review of language characteristics in autism spectrum disorder.
  • Analysis of auditory event-related potentials in individuals with autism.
  • Consideration of intervention strategies for language and behavior.

Main Results:

  • Language development delays, including comprehension and pragmatics, are common in autism.
  • Abnormal prosody, echolalia, and perseveration are characteristic of autistic language.
  • Electrophysiological studies show normal brainstem potentials but abnormal cortical auditory event-related potentials in autism.

Conclusions:

  • Intervention for autistic children must integrate language and behavioral therapies.
  • Visual language supplementation is essential for children with severe auditory language deficits.
