本研究调查了自闭症学龄前儿童的母亲使用与儿童注意力集中相关的语言的程度。14个自闭症学龄前儿童的母子配对参与了这项研究，沿着14个典型发育学龄前儿童的配对。在15分钟的自由游戏中观察两组。结果显示，自闭症儿童的母亲与发育正常的儿童的母亲一样频繁地将言语引导到孩子注意力焦点内的事物。因此，自闭症儿童有很多机会受益于与他们的注意力集中相关的语言输入，就像典型的发育中的儿童一样。然而，自闭症儿童的母亲比发育正常的儿童的母亲更频繁地将言语引导到孩子注意力不集中的地方。这种不相关的输入可能反映了母亲试图适应孩子在注意力和互动方面的困难。
This study examined the extent to which mothers of preschool children with autism use language that is related to the child's focus of attention. Fourteen mother–child dyads involving preschool children with autism participated in this study, along with 14 matched dyads involving typically developing preschool children. Both groups were observed during 15 minutes of free play. Results revealed that the mothers of children with autism directed verbalizations to something within the child's focus of attention as frequently as the mothers of typically developing children. Thus, children with autism had as many opportunities to benefit from verbal input related to their focus of attention as did typically developing children. However, mothers of children with autism directed verbalizations to something not within the child's focus of attention more frequently than mothers of typically developing children. This non-related input may have reflected the mothers' attempts to adapt to their children's difficulties in attention and interaction.
