Language Disorders: Autism and Other Pervasive Developmental Disorders

Tager-Flusberg, Helen, Caronna, Elizabeth·2007·Pediatric Clinics of North America

Abstract

This article summarizes current knowledge about language and communication impairments in children who have autism spectrum disorders. It reviews the language profiles that may be observed during the toddler and preschool years and in school-aged children and discusses receptive and expressive language skills that may be quite variable across the spectrum and the universal impairments in pragmatic aspects of language that are among the defining characteristics of the disorder. It concludes with clinical recommendations for pediatric screening of autism spectrum disorders and for continued monitoring of language difficulties in older children for whom interventions may be critical for enhancing effective communication in everyday life.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The posterior vermis may have an important role in facilitating language function, which is a core impairment in autistic disorder.

    “For instance, the posterior vermis may have an important role in facilitating language function [27] which, although heterogeneous in AD, is a core impairment [28].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
