Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-5 (May 2023) . - p.2153-2160 Titre : Brief Report: Unexpected Bilingualism: A Case of a Russian Child With ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marina A. ZHUKOVA, Auteur ; Oksana I. TALANTSEVA, Auteur ; Iuliia AN, Auteur ; Elena L. GRIGORENKO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2153-2160 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Some children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) demonstrate unusual islets of abilities or ''splinter skills'' that represent relative strengths in their development. In this paper we present a clinical case of an 11-year-old Russian boy with ASD who spontaneously acquired the English language. While the child demonstrated language deficits in both English and Russian, the discrepancy between the languages was paradoxical given the lack of exposure to English language. This case study brings into question the importance of a language environment for children with ASD. Alternative pathway to language acquisition is discussed. We hypothesize that that incidental second language acquisition in children with ASD resulting from media exposure could become more frequent with the availability of the Internet.
