Defining language phenotypes in autism (2006, background): “Keywords: Autism; Language; Phonological processing; Grammar”
CATALISE: A Multinational and Multidisciplinary Delphi Consensus Study. Identifying Language Impairments in Children (2016, background): “On the other hand, a high proportion of verbal children with ASD have language difficulties similar to those seen in non-autistic children, especially with grammar or phonology [107], though there is debate as to whether the similarities are merely superficial [108].”
The Heritability of Language: A Review and Metaanalysis of Twin, Adoption, and Linkage Studies (2001, background): “The incidence of speech and language disorders is higher among relatives of autistic people than among the general public (Folstein & Rutter 1988, Kjelgaard & Tager-Flusberg 2001, Konstantareas & Beitchman 1996, Landa et al. 1991, Le Couteur et al. 1996, Maestrini et al. 1998, Mannens & Alders…”
Understanding Variability in Reading Comprehension in Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorders: Interactions With Language Status and Decoding Skill (2011, background): “…study, a high proportion of children with ASD and normal nonverbal intelligence experience impairments in structural language abilities that are similar to those that characterize specific language impairment (SLI; Loucas et al., 2008; Tager-Flusberg, 2004; Kjelgaard & Tager-Flusberg, 2001).”
Language Development in Autism (2016, background): “Several studies have reported observing language delays in some subgroups of autistic participants but not others (e.g., Kjelgaard & Tager-Flusberg, 2001).”
Autism Spectrum Disorder and Specific Language Impairment: Overlaps in Syntactic Profiles (2016, background): “…variation in the language abilities of ASD are considerable, and upon closer inspection a subgroup of children with spared grammatical capacities emerges (Roberts, Rice & Tager-Flusberg 2004; Tager-Flusberg 2006; Kjelgaard & Tager-Flusberg 2010; Perovic, Modyanova & Wexler 2013; Terzi et al. 2014).”
The Innate Mind: Structure and Contents (2005, background): “In autism there are fundamental impairments in language (Kjelgaard & Tager-Flusberg, 2001; Lord & Paul, 1997), face processing (e.g., Langdell, 1978; Joseph & Tanaka, 2003), and severe social deficits (Klin et al., 2000)—exactly 278 Theory of Mind those cognitive skills that are relatively…”
The nature of friendship in children with autism spectrum disorders: A systematic review (2014, background): “Given the documented difficulties many individuals with ASD have with non-literal language (Kjelgaard & Tager-Flusberg, 2001; Martin & McDonald, 2004), it is possible that communication issues may be associated with difficulty in the discussion of the abstract concepts associated with friendship.”
EEG evidence for mirror neuron dysfunction in autism spectrum disorders. (2005, background): “as imitation [43,46], theory of mind [23], language [43,44], and empathy [12], all of which are known to be impaired in individuals with autism spectrum disorders [6,8,20,30,47].”
Grammatical Abilities of Greek-Speaking Children with Autism (2014, background): “More recently, studies on the language abilities of individuals with ASD have identified subgroups of children on the basis of standardized assessments measuring verbal and nonverbal abilities (e.g., Kjelgaard & Tager-Flusberg 2001; Roberts, Rice & Tager-Flusberg 2004).”
