However, little is known about whether such differences are quantitative or qualitative, especially in the morphosyntactic domain. This study is the first longitudinal research aiming to systematically investigate the developmental patterns of a wide range of Mandarin grammatical markers in autistic children. The mastery of target markers in autistic children (N?=?88, Mage?=?44.9?m, Range?=?26?76?m) was assessed longitudinally across three time points using parent reports and compared with that of TD children (N?=?84, Mage?=?23.2?m, Range?=?16?30?m) assessed at a single time point. We further examined the influence of autism severity and initial language ability. The results suggested that autistic children acquired Mandarin grammatical markers in a typical sequence but at a slower rate. Additionally, this developmental pattern was maintained regardless of autism severity and initial language ability. These findings suggest that autistic children's language development differs quantitatively but not qualitatively from that of TD children, reflecting developmental delay rather than deviance.

Who benefits most? A randomized controlled trial for Parent-implemented social communication intervention for chinese-speaking autistic preschoolers / Li WANG in Molecular Autism, 17 (2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > 17 (2026) . - 29 p. Titre : Who benefits most? A randomized controlled trial for Parent-implemented social communication intervention for chinese-speaking autistic preschoolers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Li WANG, Auteur ; Yujia SHI, Auteur ; Hon-Cheong SO, Auteur ; Hoyee W. HIRAI, Auteur ; Xin QI, Auteur ; Carol K. S. TO, Auteur ; Florrie Fei-Yin NG, Auteur ; Patrick C.M. WONG, Auteur Article en page(s) : 29 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Parent-implemented interventions (PIIs) are well established for improving developmental outcomes in autistic children. As evidence has accumulated, the field has increasingly shifted toward understanding for whom, and through which delivery formats PIIs can be most effectively implemented. These questions are pressing in non-Western contexts, where access to professional services is limited and culturally appropriate interventions are needed. This RCT, one of the largest of its kind in China, addressed this gap by comparing two scalable delivery formats (speech-language therapist [SLT]-led online groups vs. flexible Self-study format) of a culturally adapted social communication program and examining differential intervention responses and sustained engagement.
