Series: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 30 (4) 2000: 345-354.Publisher: 2000Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume Subject(s): AUTISM | SPEECH | SPEECH DEVELOPMENT | LANGUAGE | LANGUAGE ABILITYSummary: This study was designed to evaluate the nature of early vocal behaviours in young children with autism. Results revealed that children with autism did not have difficulty with the expression of well-formed syllables. However, children with autism did display significant impairments in vocal quality. The atypicalities in the vocal behaviour of children with autism appeared to be independent of individual differences in joint attention skill, suggesting that a multiple process model may be needed to describe early social-communication impairments in children with autism.
