语用障碍是自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的核心问题。本研究采用实验叙事范式，研究了ASD和典型发展（TD）青少年的COMMON GROUND，一种语用语言技能，讲话者根据对话者感知到的知识来调整他们的演讲内容。与先前的研究一致，当TD参与者与对话者分享知识时，他们的叙述会更短，这在ASD的小组水平上没有观察到。这种影响与智商或接受性词汇等一般技能无关。在ASD中，效果与年龄和症状严重程度相关：年龄较大和受影响较轻的参与者确实缩短了他们的叙述。一些指标（包括明确提到的共同点、言语不流畅和沟通质量评级）表明，尽管患有ASD的青少年并没有表现出叙事长度的隐性减少，但他们意识到共同点，并在共同点存在时以不同的方式进行沟通。
Deficits in pragmatic language are central to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here we investigate COMMON GROUND, a pragmatic language skill in which speakers adjust the contents of their speech based on their interlocutor's perceived knowledge, in adolescents with ASD and typical development (TD), using an experimental narrative paradigm. Consistent with prior research, TD participants produced shorter narrations when they shared knowledge with an interlocutor, an effect not observed at the group level in ASD. This effect was unrelated to general skills such as IQ or receptive vocabulary. In ASD, the effect was correlated with age and symptom severity: older and less severely affected participants DID shorten their narratives. Several metrics (including explicit references to common ground, speech disfluencies, and communicative quality ratings) suggested that, although adolescents with ASD did not show implicit reductions in their narrative length, they were aware of common ground, and communicated differently in its presence.
