We investigated the relationship between language (verbal ability, verbal self-talk) and visuospatial working memory in 2- and 4-year-olds with ASD (n=65) and typical development (TD) (n=54). Children with ASD displayed impairments in working memory and verbal ability, but not verbal self-talk, compared to TD peers. Verbal ability and working memory were positively correlated; this association was stronger for children with ASD. For 2-year-olds, self-talk and working memory were negatively correlated. Results suggest that verbal ability and working memory are linked, especially for young children with ASD. Self-talk may be a compensatory strategy for toddlers with less developed working memory.

Sexual Knowledge, Experiences, and Pragmatic Language in Adults With and Without Autism: Implications for Sex Education / Brooke H. KOHN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-10 (October 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-10 (October 2023) . - p.3770-3786 Titre : Sexual Knowledge, Experiences, and Pragmatic Language in Adults With and Without Autism: Implications for Sex Education Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Brooke H. KOHN, Auteur ; Paige VIDAL, Auteur ; Rachael CHIAO, Auteur ; David W. PANTALONE, Auteur ; Susan FAJA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3770-3786 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic adults have similar levels of desire for sexual and romantic relationships as their non-autistic peers. However, autistic adults are less likely to be in relationships and have less dating experience. We compared sexual knowledge, experiences, and pragmatic language ability in a community sample of young adults with (n=27, mean age=22.11) and without autism (n=122, mean age=19.47). Receipt of sex education and sexual knowledge did not differ between groups. However, autistic adults had significantly fewer partnered experiences and impaired pragmatic language. Within both groups, pragmatic skill predicted accurate sexual knowledge above and beyond general communication abilities. Findings suggest that sex education for autistic adults must address the social communication component of healthy romantic and sexual relationships.
