Previous reports suggested delayed or reduced canonical babbling in infants later diagnosed with autism, but the story may be complicated. We present a prospective study on 44 infants later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder compared with 127 infants later identified as typically developing who were followed longitudinally with day-long recordings from 0 to 13 months. Eight 5-min segments from each of their recordings were coded for canonical and noncanonical syllables. The results confirmed many reports that canonical babbling is a robust feature of human vocal development in the first year of life, with small overall mean differences in canonical babbling rates between the autism spectrum disorder and typically developing groups beginning around 9?months, primarily in males. Our findings highlight the importance of considering sex differences in vocal communication as part of the early detection and diagnosis of autism when determining the need for communication supports to maximize outcomes. Lay Abstract Our study examined how babies develop their ability to talk to help identify early signs of autism. We looked at babies' production of babbling with mature syllables across the first year of life. Babies usually start producing mature babbling at 7 months of age before they say their first words. Some studies have suggested that babies who are later diagnosed with autism produce this kind of babbling less frequently in their first year of life, but other studies have shown complicated outcomes. In this new study, we followed 44 autistic babies and compared them to 127 typically developing babies. We recorded the babies once every month, all day long, from the time that they were born until they were around 13?months old. Then, we studied their mature babbling from segments of these recordings. We found that the rate at which babies used mature babbling was lower in boys with autism, and higher in girls with autism, compared to babies without autism. This research helps us understand how babies with autism learn to talk. It also raises important questions about differences between boys and girls with autism. Our study can help us improve how scientists and clinicians can identify autism earlier, which could lead to better communication supports for autistic children and their families.

Foundations of Vocal Category Development in Autistic Infants / Pumpki Lei SU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-3 (March 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-3 (March 2025) . - p.862-872 Titre : Foundations of Vocal Category Development in Autistic Infants Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Pumpki Lei SU, Auteur ; Hyunjoo YOO, Auteur ; Gordon RAMSAY, Auteur ; Helen L.

Kimbrough OLLER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.862-872 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The present study compared the infant?s tendency in the first year of life to produce clusters of particular vocal types (squeals, vocants, and growls) in typically developing (TD) and autistic infants. Vocal clustering provides evidence of vocal category formation and may establish a foundation for speech development. Specifically, we compared the extent of vocal clustering across outcome groups and age groups. We also examined the associations between the extent of vocal clustering and later outcomes at 2 years within the autistic group. Randomly selected 5-min segments (27,153 5-min segments total) from 1293 all-day home recordings from 103 TD infants and 44 autistic infants across the first year were humancoded (about 9.75 h of data coded per infant on average) to derive vocal clustering patterns. Fisher?s exact tests were used to compare the occurrence of squeals versus vocants, as well as growls versus vocants, across coded segments. Infants in both groups demonstrated clear clustering patterns of squeals and growls across all age groups. The extent of vocal clustering in the autistic group did not correlate significantly with later language, repetitive behavior, or autism severity outcomes. These findings highlight the robustness of the systematic production of vocal categories across the first year of life. The similarity of the clustering patterns in the TD and autistic groups suggests that vocal category formation through active infant vocal exploration is a robust feature of early speech development.

Out of the mouths of babes: vocal production in infant siblings of children with ASD / Rhea PAUL in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 52-5 (May 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 52-5 (May 2011) . - p.588-598 Titre : Out of the mouths of babes: vocal production in infant siblings of children with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rhea PAUL, Auteur ; Yael FUERST, Auteur ; Gordon RAMSAY, Auteur ; Kasia CHAWARSKA, Auteur ; Ami KLIN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.588-598 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  speech  vocalization  infant siblings Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  Younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are at higher risk for acquiring these disorders than the general population. Language development is usually delayed in children with ASD. The present study examines the development of pre-speech vocal behavior in infants at risk for ASD due to the presence of an older sibling with the disorder. Methods:  Infants at high risk (HR) for ASD and those at low risk, without a diagnosed sibling (LR), were seen at 6, 9, and 12 months as part of a larger prospective study of risk for ASD in infant siblings. Standard clinical assessments were administered, and vocalization samples were collected during play with mother and a standard set of toys. Infant vocal behavior was recorded and analyzed for consonant inventory, presence of canonical syllables, and of non-speech vocalizations, in a cross-sectional design. Children were seen again at 24 months for provisional diagnosis. Results:  Differences were seen between risk groups for certain vocal behaviors. Differences in vocal production in the first year of life were associated with outcomes in terms of autistic symptomotology in the second year. Conclusions:  Early vocal behavior is a sensitive indicator of heightened risk for autistic symptoms in infants with a family history of ASD.
