The study’s objective was to develop a scale for measuring pragmatic impairments in conversations of individuals with ASD. We analyzed 46 semi-structured conversations of children and adolescents with high-functioning ASD using a functional linguistic paradigm. Five constructs were developed that assessed difficulties related to the pragmatics of conversation: atypical intonation; semantic drift; terseness; pedantic speech; perseveration. The scale shows good inter-rater reliability and variation in the scales is not simply a reflection of IQ or language competence. This tool represents a way of characterizing language use in ASD and is an initial step towards developing a tool to evaluate change in degree of social impairments in conversation.

Differentiating Autism and Asperger Syndrome on the Basis of Language Delay or Impairment / Terry BENNETT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-4 (April 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 38-4 (April 2008) . - p.616-625 Titre : Differentiating Autism and Asperger Syndrome on the Basis of Language Delay or Impairment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Terry BENNETT, Auteur ; Susan E.

BOYLE, Auteur ; Joanne VOLDEN, Auteur ; Liezanne VACCARELLA, Auteur ; Eric DUKU, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.616-625 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Asperger-syndrome Language-impairment Outcomes Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Asperger syndrome (AS) is differentiated from high-functioning autism (HFA) largely on a history of “language delay.” This study examined “specific language impairment” as a predictor of outcome. Language skills of 19 children with AS and 45 with HFA were assessed at 4–6 years of age (Time 1) and 2 years later (Time 2). Children’s symptoms and functional outcome scores were assessed every 2 years (Times 3, 4, and 5) until ages 15–17 years old. Regression analysis revealed that specific language impairment at time 2 more often accounted for the greatest variation in outcome scores in adolescence than the standard diagnosis of AS versus HFA based on history of language delay. Diagnostic implications are discussed.

Similar developmental trajectories in autism and Asperger syndrome: from early childhood to adolescence / Peter SZATMARI in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 50-12 (December 2009)

Method: Sixty-four high-functioning children with ASD were ascertained at 4–6 years of age from several different regional diagnostic and treatment centers. At 6–8 years of age, the ADI-R and the Test of Oral Language Development were used to define an autism group (those with StrLI at 6–8 years of age) and an AS group (those without StrLI). Growth curve analysis was then used to chart the developmental trajectories of these children on measures of autistic symptoms, and adaptive skills in communication, daily living and socialization. Results: Differentiating the ASD group in terms of the presence/absence of StrLI provided a better explanation of the variation in growth curves than not differentiating high-functioning ASD children. The two groups had similar developmental trajectories but the group without StrLI (the AS group) was functioning better and had fewer autistic symptoms than the group with StrLI (the autism group) on all measures across time. The differences in outcome could not be explained by non-verbal IQ or change in early language skills. Conclusion: Distinguishing between autism and Asperger syndrome based on the presence or absence of StrLI appears to be a clinically useful way of classifying ASD sub-types.
