However, less is known about how these siblings are faring when they are school-aged. We examined language-related abilities of 18 siblings with non-ASD outcomes, aged 8–11. On average, siblings performed more poorly than the normative sample in phonological memory and phonological awareness. In contrast, word-level reading was unimpaired. No deficits relative to norms were found on a direct child assessment and parent-report measure of pragmatic language; however, recommendations for further research in this area are made. Comparing two direct child assessments, this sample performed more poorly in pragmatics than receptive/expressive language. Language abilities in siblings of children with ASD is an area ripe for further investigation with larger sample sizes and appropriate comparison groups.
