目前的研究检查了自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）中句法和形态学以及词汇的延迟。年龄在4-6岁的ASD儿童（n = 21）和典型发育儿童（n = 21），在非言语心理年龄上匹配，完成了五项语言任务。ASD组在句法和形态学以及词汇测量方面都有显著的延迟，组内异质性显著;此外，即使在词汇匹配的亚组中，句法和形态测量也受损。无早期语言延迟的ASD组儿童表现为句法和形态障碍，但词汇和句子重复表现完整。研究结果表明，句法和形态障碍是一个重要的关注高功能自闭症儿童，可能会被忽视，如果语言评价只集中在词汇。
The current study examined delays in syntax and morphology, and vocabulary, in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children ages 4-6 years with ASD (n = 21) and typical development (n = 21), matched on nonverbal mental age, completed five language tasks. The ASD group had significant delays in both syntax and morphology, and vocabulary measures, with significant within-group heterogeneity; furthermore, syntactic and morphological measures were impaired even for subgroups matched on vocabulary. Children in the ASD group without early language delay showed syntactic and morphological impairment, with intact performance on vocabulary and sentence repetition. Findings indicate that syntactic and morphological impairments are a significant concern for high-functioning children with ASD, and may be overlooked if language evaluation focuses exclusively on vocabulary.
