这项研究调查了即使在结果最好的儿童中，语言缺陷是否仍然存在。我们检查了一组以前被诊断患有自闭症的儿童，他们的智商在正常范围内，在与年龄相适应的主流班级中，他们的进步程度被认为是他们的正常发育同龄人的水平。14名年龄在5岁到9岁之间的此类儿童在年龄和性别上与正常发育的儿童相匹配，并接受了一系列10项语言测试，以调查他们的语言能力。结果表明，虽然这些儿童的语法能力与他们的同龄人几乎没有区别，但他们在语用和语义语言方面仍然存在困难。
This study examined whether language deficits persist even in children with optimal outcomes. We examined a group of children with prior diagnoses on the autism spectrum who had IQs in the normal range, were in age-appropriate mainstream classes, and had improved to such an extent that they were considered to be functioning at the level of their typically developing peers. Fourteen such children between the ages of five and nine were matched on age and sex with typically developing children, and were given a battery of 10 language tests to investigate their language abilities. Results indicated that while these children's grammatical capabilities are mostly indistinguishable from their peers, they are still experiencing difficulties in pragmatic and semantic language.
