对7~9岁自闭症学龄前儿童的表现性语音和词句理解测验成绩进行了聚类分析，共得到4个类群。第一类(N=11)：音位和理解力都较低；第二类(N=4)：音位较低，接近平均水平；第三类(N=40)：平均音位，理解由低到低；第四类(N=7)：一般或较好的音位和理解力。这些簇支持两种主要类型的自闭症语言障碍，这些自闭症是由表达音素受损引起的，每种语言障碍都可以根据理解能力进行划分。这些簇驳斥了自闭症中的一种单一语言障碍，并与先前定义的临床亚型一致。
Cluster analysis of test scores on expressive phonology and comprehension of words and sentences in 7-9-year-old children with preschool diagnosis of Autistic Disorder yielded 4 clusters. Cluster 1 (N = 11): phonology and comprehension both low; Cluster 2 (N = 4): phonology low, near average comprehension; Cluster 3 (N = 40): average phonology, comprehension low to low average; Cluster 4 (N = 7): average or better phonology and comprehension. The clusters support two major types of language disorders in autism driven by impaired expressive phonology, each divisible by comprehension ability. The clusters refute a single language disorder in autism and are consonant with earlier-defined clinical subtypes.
