▼ Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) present with a wide range of heterogeneity; subtype validation therefore represents a major emphasis within this line of research. The published literature is reviewed, including subtype theory, past and present areas of ASD subtype research, and comparison of individuals with ASD with and without a history of language regression. Review conclusions indicate that while no one subtype solution explains all of autism variability, ASD likely exists on a continuum of developmental level and symptom severity on which exist overlapping subgroups that differ on severity level. Additionally, the validity of regressive autism as a subtype of ASD has not yet been determined and warrants continued attention. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the validity of ASD subclassification based on history of language regression. Participants (N =183 children, 2-17 years of age, diagnosed with an ASD) were divided into 4 groups on the basis of language history (i.e., delayed with regression, delayed with plateau, delayed without regression or plateau, and typical early language). Variable domains included adaptive behavior, symptom severity, and social-emotional functioning, which were measured using archival clinical assessment data. Multivariate analysis of variance and descriptive discriminant analysis were used to identify possible latent constructs that best explain group differences. A general trend of lesser symptom severity/better symptom-related adaptive functioning was noted for the typical vs. the delay groups, and better symptom-related adaptive behavior functioning for the plateau vs. the regression group. Groups formed on the basis of early language history may therefore exist on a continuum of level of pathology and prognosis, with individuals with more typical early language functioning better than those with a history of plateau or delayed/deviant language development, and individuals with plateau better functioning than those with a history of regression.

▼ Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by communication difficulties, social interaction impairments, and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Prior studies have shown that ASD is associated with differences in neuroanatomy in the cerebral cortex and the subcortical regions as well as the connectivity among these regions. However, findings have been mixed due to the varying age group sampled and the methods used to measure these brain structures. In view of the heterogeneous findings in ASD, three cross-sectional design studies were conducted in this thesis to examine brain structural pathologies that may be related to the clinical and behavioural phenotype of the disorder across development. In the childhood and adolescent sample, two studies were carried out. The first one examined cortical thickness using a vertex-wise approach. Results revealed thinner cortex in the occipital, parietal and frontal regions, and thicker cortex in the inferior parietal and caudal anterior cingulate regions. These regions also showed age-related differences that deviated markedly from the typical developmental trajectories observed in the control group. Some of these regions with significant differences in cortical thickness were found to be associated with clinical symptoms in ASD. The second study in the childhood and adolescent sample examined the volume of subcortical structures and CSF using a spatially non-biased parcellation approach. It was found that intracranial volume was enlarged in children with ASD, accompanied by smaller bilateral cerebellum and left thalamus. These regions showed an age-related increase in volume in children with ASD, whereas the typically developing children showed a general age-related decrease in volume of the same regions. The volumes of the cerebellum, thalamus and basal ganglia structures were associated with relatively weaker motor control in ASD, and in particular greater volume of the left thalamus rather than age predicted worse motor performance in the clinical group. The third study was carried out in a large adult sample. The cerebellar white matter system, that interconnects cortical and subcortical targets, was examined. Using a diffusion-tensor imaging tractography approach, the cerebellar input and output white matter pathways were dissected. Both the input and output pathways were observed to be disrupted in ASD, supporting the hypothesis that ASD may be a “disconnectivity disorder”. Lower fractional anisotropy of the left middle cerebellar peduncles was associated with increased difficulties in communication and social interaction, and lower fractional anisotropy in the right superior cerebellar peduncle was linked to worse motor performance in adults with ASD. Therefore, my studies confirmed differences in neuroanatomy of cortical and subcortical regions with altered brain developmental trajectories in children and adolescence with ASD, and revealed disrupted cerebellar network system in adults with ASD. Dysmaturation of cortical and…

▼ Being a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disease, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects a staggering number of individuals globally with considerable impairments in social interactions and communications. With the immense clinical and genetic heterogeneity, elucidating the underlying pathogenesis of ASD is deemed to be exceedingly challenging. The advances in high throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the increasing utilisation of chromosomal microarray in the recent decade result in tremendous developments in the understanding on the genetic basis of ASD. In this study, these two technologies were applied to dissect the intriguing genetic aetiology of ASD. A cohort of 68 Chinese patients from Hong Kong was recruited consisting both adult and paediatric subjects. Array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was performed for the cohort identifying eight clinically significant copy number variants (CNV). The overall diagnostic yield of array CGH was 11.8%. Microduplication at chromosome 16p13.11 was most frequently detected with four positive cases contributing to 5.9% of the cohort. Among the clinically significant CNV, microdeletion at chromosome 15q24 was detected in one subject and this is a recurrent genomic aberration reported in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. To decipher the culprit of ASD in this region, a targeted PCR-based enrichment method was developed using next-generation sequencing to decode all the genes in 15q24 region that listed in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database. Of note, a missense variant and an intronic duplication were identified in NEO1 gene that encodes for neogenin with critical role in interneuron migration and exon guidance, the key pathways in the pathogenesis of ASD. Essentially, the missense variant c.3388C>T (p.Arg1130Cys) impaired the nuclear translocation of neogenin whereas the intronic duplication c.2204-14_2204-2dup predicted to create a cryptic lariat branch point lowering the splicing efficiency. Seemingly, these results provided the first evidence establishing the link between NEO1 and a human phenotype of autism. Apart from the identification of novel disease genes, several methods were developed to study the diverse aetiology of ASD. Notably, the link between mitochondrial disorders and autistic features is widely recognised. Using next-generation sequencing, a whole mitochondrial genome sequencing method using long-range PCR as enrichment was established. The method was validated in DNA samples extracted from blood and urine, which was deemed to be a robust and comprehensive approach to identify mitochondrial mutations. Furthermore, a targeted gene panel consisting key genes that evidently linked to autism were developed using NGS. The genes in the panel include MECP2, PTEN, NLGN3, NRXN1, CNTNAP2 and SHANK3. The method allowed simultaneous analysis of multiple ASD genes in a single analytical run. By and large, the implications of the findings from the present study can be enormous. The CNV spectrum of ASD in the Hong Kong…

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder affecting individuals along a continuum of severity in communication, social interaction and behaviour. The impact of ASD significantly varies amongst individuals, and the cause of ASD can originate broadly between genetic and environmental factors. Previous ASD researches indicate that early identification combined with a targeted treatment plan involving behavioural interventions and multidisciplinary therapies can provide substantial improvement for ASD patients. Currently there is no cure for ASD, and the clinical variability and uncertainty of the disorder still remains. Hence, the search to unravel heterogeneity within ASD by subgroup classification may provide clinicians with a better understanding of ASD and to work towards a more definitive course of action. In this study, a norm of physical measurements including height, weight, head circumference, ear length, outer and inner canthi, interpupillary distance, philtrum, hand and foot length was collected from 658 Typical Developing (TD) Chinese children aged 1 to 7 years (mean age of 4.19 years). The norm collected was compared against 80 ASD Chinese children aged 1 to 12 years (mean age of 4.36 years). We then further attempted to find subgroups within ASD based on identifying physical abnormalities; individuals were classified as (non)dysmorphic with the Autism Dysmorphology Measure (ADM) from physical examinations of 12 body regions. Our results show that there were significant differences between ASD and TD children for measurements in: head circumference (p=0.009), outer (p=0.021) and inner (p=0.021) canthus, philtrum length (p=0.003), right (p=0.023) and left (p=0.20) foot length. Within the 80 ASD patients, 37(46%) were classified as dysmorphic (p=0.00). This study attempts to identify subgroups within ASD based on physical measurements and dysmorphology examinations. The information from this study seeks to benefit ASD community by identifying possible subtypes of ASD in Chinese population; in seek for a more definitive diagnosis, referral and treatment plan.

▼

Minor physical anomalies (MPA) are mild congenital malformations in external physical abnormalities that are observed in neurodevelopmental disorders such as velocardiofacial syndrome (more commonly known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome), autism and schizophrenia. It has been reported that about three-quarters of MPAs can be found in the craniofacial region, such as low-seated ears, high-steepled palate, altered interorbital distance. Furthermore, both eye and brain development are tightly linked, and interorbital distance and optic chiasmic angle in adulthood are perinatally fixed. Therefore my study investigated MPAs of the optic system in two neurodevelopmental disorders, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The four selected MPAs included 1) inter-orbital distance, 2) the optic chiasmic angle, 3) anterior extension of optic nerves ‘a’, and 4) posterior extension of optic nerves ‘b’. They were investigated in two individual studies, the first comprising 17 adults with ASD and 21 controls while the second comprised 27 adults with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and 28 controls. Their MRI scans were analysed with respect to the MPAs. The main finding was that adults with ASD had significantly larger total brain volume which was positively correlated with the anterior extension of optic nerves ‘a’, but not the other optical MPAs. This suggested that the larger brain volume was more related to frontal brain enlargement. As no relevant significant results were obtained in the controls nor adults with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, such finding appears pertinent to ASD adults, rather than that to a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder. However, this finding is only preliminary, and other neurodevelopmental disorders should be included for comparison with ASD and healthy controls. The use of MRI appears to be a feasible tool to assess MPAs. Future work will focus on whether these observations can be replicated across the life-span by evaluating these parameters in children with ASD, as well as adults with other neurodevelopmental disorders.

▼ Restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are core features in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Previous literature has subdivided RRBs into low and high levels. Low-level behavior is characterized by a repetition of movement, such as stereotyped movements, whereas high-level behavior includes insistence on sameness and rigid adherence to a routine. There is conflicting evidence frequency and severity of RRBs in early development in children with ASD. In the current study, we examined developmental differences in the frequency and severity of RRBs in children with ASD (n = 109) compared to children with developmental delays (DD) (n= 34). Participants were evaluated at age 2 and 4, and individual items from the Autism Diagnostic Interview were categorized as low or high level and assessed for changes in frequency and severity over time. Consistent with the literature, results show an overall significant increase in the number of RRBs over time in children with ASD, but not those with DD. Specifically, the data showed an increase in high-level behaviors, with no significant change in the frequency of low-level behaviors. RRBs were then examined in relation to other developmental markers. In children with ASD, the severity of low-level RRBs was negatively correlated with level of intelligence and adaptive functioning, even when controlling for IQ. In addition, children with greater ASD symptom severity were more likely to display more severe RRBs. This suggested that both high- and low-level behaviors are present in 2-year-old children with ASD, who then experienced a significant increase in the frequency of high-level behaviors by age 4, suggesting that when making early diagnoses it is important to continue examining RRBs in relation to other social-communicative markers. Unlike at age 4 where group differences were obtained for both types of RRBs, differences in the frequency of only high-level behaviors were obtained at age 2, suggesting that simple repetitive behaviors do not differentiate 2-year-olds with ASD from those with DD. Furthermore, in children with ASD, the development of low-level repetitive behaviors are associated with lower levels of cognitive functioning, which may interfere with everyday tasks of social and communicative development and be positively related to ASD symptom severity.

▼ Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of developmental disorders characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication and the presence of repetitive and restrictive behaviors. Despite high prevalence (1:68), and large social and economic impacts, uncovering the mechanisms that contribute to ASD and finding therapeutics for treatment of the disorder has been thwarted by our inability to directly study human neurons, the limitations of animal models, and disorder heterogeneity. Recent studies have found that ASD risk genes converge onto the cerebral cortex of the developing mid-fetal brain (8-24 weeks old). During this time, neural precursor cells (NPCs) in the developing brain are undergoing proliferation, migration, and differentiation to form neurons and the normal cytoarchitecture of the brain. Indeed, post-mortem and imaging studies in humans with ASD have uncovered structural changes that are suggestive of alterations in these basic developmental processes. However, genetic, imaging, and post-mortem analyses cannot give mechanistic insight into the alterations found in the ASD brain. For the past few decades, studies to uncover the mechanisms underpinning ASD have primarily been conducted in rodent models. However, rodent models, due to differences in physiology and genetics, are unable to truly recapitulate human neurodevelopment. Moreover, rodent models cannot be utilized to study the vast majority of cases of ASD which are idiopathic or polygenic. Therefore, to really understand ASD, we need to study developmental processes like proliferation, migration, and differentiation in human neural cells derived from individuals with idiopathic ASD. Yet, until the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology such studies were impossible. iPSCs are stem cells reprogrammed from mature somatic tissues (like white blood cells) that have the capability of forming almost any cell in the body including neurons. As iPSCs retain the genetic signature of the individuals from whom they are derived, we can for the first time, study the development and function of neural cells of people with genetically complex neuropsychiatric disorders. The three iPSC studies of idiopathic ASD published thus far have uncovered common defects in synapse formation, dendritic spines, and neuronal activity in ASD neurons. Yet, despite studies indicating the importance of early neurodevelopment in ASD pathogenesis, most iPSC studies have focused on post-mitotic differentiated neurons and have largely neglected study of early developmental processes in NPCs. Therefore, the goals of my studies were to assess neurite outgrowth, migration, and signaling pathways in neural precursor cells derived from 6 individuals with ASD. Our cohort consists of three individuals with idiopathic ASD (I-ASD) and their unaffected brothers (Sib) as controls, 3 individuals with 16p11.2 deletion (16pDel) and ASD and unaffected controls from the NIMH. Fascinatingly, despite the heterogeneity of ASD, all 6 patients in our cohort had… Advisors/Committee Members: DiCicco-Bloom, Emanuel (chair), Millonig, James (internal member), Pang, Zhiping (internal member), Zhou, Renping (internal member), Cai, Li (outside member), School of Graduate Studies.

The development of the human brain is a vastly complex process resulting in an elaborate network of over one hundred billion neurons, with each neuron having thousands of synaptic connections. The proper organization of these cells and the formation of their processes is essential for the construction of a functional brain. Disruptions in this process result in a number of developmental disorders; including, epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 17p13.3 microduplication syndrome is a newly identified genetic disorder resulting in a variety of defects including ASD. Importantly, a minimum duplication region strongly associated with ASD has been classified and exclusively contains the gene encoding the protein 14-3-3[epsilon], strongly implicating the overexpression of 14-3-3[epsilon] in ASD. Using in vitro and in vivo techniques, we have found that 14-3-3[epsilon] binds to the microtubule binding protein doublecortin, preventing its degradation resulting in increased doublecortin protein levels. We also found that 14-3-3[epsilon] overexpression disrupts neurite formation by preventing the invasion of microtubules into primitive neurites, which can be rescued by the knockdown of doublecortin. Our findings provide the first evidence of cellular pathology in 17p13.3 microduplication syndrome. In addition the functions of 14-3-3[epsilon] in cortical development, in this work we have also analyzed the role of 14-3-3[gamma], another 14-3-3 isoform. Williams Syndrome (WS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by deletions in the 7q11.23 chromosome locus resulting in intellectual disabilities. Typical WS patients present a 1.5-1.8Mb deletion whereas atypical patients have a larger than 1.8 Mb deletion, which includes the gene encoding 14-3-3[gamma]. Interestingly, atypical WS patients commonly exhibit epilepsy. Furthermore, there is a reciprocal duplication syndrome to WS, which also results in epilepsy and intellectual disabilities. Taken together with the fact that defects in neuronal migration typically result in epilepsy, we analyzed if the overexpression and knockdown of 14-3-3[gamma] causes neuronal migration defects. We found that the overexpression and the knockdown of 14-3-3[gamma] in utero results in delays in neuronal migration due to decreased neuronal migration velocity. Furthermore, we found no defects in neurogenesis when 14-3-3[gamma] levels are altered. These results indicate that balanced expression of 14-3-3[gamma] is required for proper neuronal migration.

▼ As the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) continues to rise, families and educators are challenged with providing intensive, evidence-based practices in the least restrictive environment. Evidence exists for a variety of effective intervention approaches. Selection of appropriate interventions requires consideration of the individual needs of the child and family. An activity-based approach to early intervention combines strategies from a variety of evidence-based practices and allows for intensity of instruction through distributed opportunities for practice. Brief teaching interactions are elicited within the context of typical routines and activities throughout the day. Thus, intervention can be provided in inclusive classroom settings as well as at home, without disrupting the ongoing activities and routines. The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of collaborative planning for an activity-based approach to early intervention for children with ASD across school and home settings. Dependent measures included the combined rate of learning opportunities delivered by the teacher and parent across settings as well as the combined rate of the child's correct demonstrations for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goal. Teacher and parent perceptions of the value and effectiveness of collaborative planning for an activity-based approach to early intervention were also assessed using pre- and post-survey responses as well as information from a final interview. Participants were a preschool-aged boy with ASD, his mother, and his preschool teacher. A single subject, multiple-probe design was selected to analyze the effect of collaborative planning for an activity-based approach to intervention for a young child with ASD across school and home settings. The teacher and parent selected three matched routines that typically occur both at school and at home as the context for embedding activity-based learning opportunities to address a selected IEP goal. Results indicated that following collaborative planning meetings for each of the routines, there was both an increase in the collective learning opportunities delivered at school and at home, as well as a simultaneous increase in child outcomes for the targeted IEP objective in both settings. Responses from the teacher and parent pre- and post-surveys and final interviews provided social validation for the ease and practicality of collaborative planning for activity-based intervention. Both the teacher and parent felt confident in supporting the child's IEP goal within the context of typical daily routines. The teacher also expressed that the collaborative planning helped her to really focus on the child's individualized goal. Furthermore, both the teacher and the parent affirmed the intervention's potential for generalization. Collaborative planning to embed children's goals within the context of typical routines both at school and at home allowed for a collective increase in learning opportunities and related child performance on an individualized… Advisors/Committee Members: Cross, Lee.

Objective: This dissertation explored associations between two specific classes of drug exposures, beta-2 adrenergic receptor (B2AR) agonists and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and the risk for ASD. Study Design: This project had two components: 1) a case-control study focused on estimation of exposure main effects from Denmark’s population-registers and 2) a candidate gene-environment interaction analysis using both exposure and genotype data from a large ongoing US autism case-control study. Methods: From the Danish registers, one case per ten controls was individually matched on birth month and year. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate unadjusted and adjusted drug exposure odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Estimates were calculated in each drug class for any exposure, any exposure by preconception or trimester, dose, and duration. Special attention was paid to confounding by indication, as well as a sensitivity analysis for exposure and indicating condition misclassification. The gene-environment interaction analysis was based on unmatched case-control data and explored whether effects of in utero B2AR agonist drugs used during pregnancy are modified by polymorphisms in the ADRB2 gene (Gly16 and Glu27 polymorphisms). Logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted ORs and 95% CI. Results: In parental age and child sex adjusted models we observed an increased risk for ASD associated with any in utero B2AR agonist drugs exposure (OR 1.3, 95% CI: 1.1- 1.5). Similarly, any exposure to SSRIs during pregnancy was associated with ASD (OR 2.0 [95% CI, 2.0 [1.6-2.6]) compared to the unexposed reference group. Lastly, for the gene-environment interaction analysis we found some suggestion that the ASD risk associated with prenatal B2AR exposure may be modified by ADRB2 genotype; although estimates were imprecise. Conclusion: The combination of low exposure prevalence during pregnancy and modest odds ratios we had observed for these two classes of drugs implies that the population attributable risks associated with both exposures will be fairly small. The possible increase in ASD risk from exposure to these medications must be weighed against effects of uncontrolled indications during pregnancy and the growing concern over the potential risk for the developing fetus and the mother as well as benefits of medication to mother and fetus despite possible ASD risk.

A diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has a significant and pervasive effect on the family unit. Research on parents suggests that both mothers and fathers experience more stress than parents of typically developing individuals and those with other developmental disabilities. This places parents at risk for negative psychosocial outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and marital dissatisfaction. Research on typically developing siblings is much more mixed, however the literature converges to suggest that siblings experience multiple stressors that can place them at risk for a negative outcome as well. Together, these findings indicate that families require high quality support services to address their needs. Over the past several decades, researchers and clinicians have investigated several support options for families, however there have been significant limitations in the ability to disseminate these valuable services to families in need. As such, it is important to measure service access and interest in families of individuals with ASD, and to investigate the factors that facilitate and limit engagement. The present study used an online survey to access 158 families from across the United States who had a child with ASD as well as one typically developing child. The questionnaires included information about family demographics, service engagement variables for parents and siblings, as well as psychosocial variables about the parent and the child with ASD. Parent psychosocial variables included measures of parent stress, psychiatric symptoms, and social support. Symptom severity for the child with ASD was also measured. Results indicated that service engagement varied considerably by demographic variables, including parent and child gender, race, parent education, and child age. Parent interest and perception of services did not correspond to service engagement in this sample. Instead, high ratings of perceived ASD symptom severity, higher levels of parent stress, greater social support, lower endorsement of psychiatric symptoms, and greater perception of parent finances all predicted engagement for both parents and siblings. This study yielded important information about the service needs of families of individuals with ASD, and factors that may contribute to their decision making. The implications of the present findings, limitations, and future directions are also discussed.

▼ Support groups are an effective source of support in a number of populations (e.g., Beaudoin & Tao, 2007; Preyde & Ardal, 2003; Singer, et al., 1999). Parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a particularly stressed group who can benefit from support (Blacher & McIntyre, 2006). These studies investigated: 1) predictors of participation in support groups for parents of children with ASD and 2) the effects of participation in an online support group for these parents. One hundred seventy-eight parents completed a series of online questionnaires measuring their beliefs about support groups and ASD, coping style, social support, mood, parenting stress, and their child’s autistic symptoms and daily functioning. Parents who were currently using parent support groups (PSGs) reported using more adaptive coping strategies than both parents who had never used PSGs and parents who had used PSGs in the past. Parents who had used PSGs in the past reported that they did not find the groups as beneficial as parents who were currently using them, and parents who had never participated in PSGs reported several issues with accessibility that made it difficult to participate in PSGs. A smaller group of parents (n = 36), who had participated in the first study, participated in an online support group designed for this study. An additional group of parents (n = 25), who had also completed the first study, served as a no-treatment control group. The parents in these two groups completed a subset of the questionnaires used in the first study following the 4-month support group, so that changes in mood, anxiety, parenting stress, and positive perceptions could be documented over time. No significant differences between the groups and across time were found. However, parents who participated in the group reported being satisfied with the support they received and finding the group helpful. Overall, the results of these studies suggest that interventions for parents of children with ASD need to be individualized and focused on the needs of the parents. Further research is required to investigate the efficacy of online support groups for parents of children with ASD.

▼ Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by impairments in social-communication, and restricted, repetitive and stereotypical patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. There is a paucity of research about the adult population as the vast majority of research into ASD has focused on children and adolescents. As impairments in social-communication are integral to ASD speech-language pathologists (SLP) have a pivotal role to play in the assessment and intervention of adults with ASD in an effort to optimize their independence and productive participation. This study focuses on the communicative profile of adults with ASD who are considered high-functioning (i.e. those without intellectual disability; HFASD). Impairments in social communication, also known as pragmatics, are defining criteria for ASD. Although specific pragmatic problems have been noted in adults with HFASD, the full extent of their pragmatic difficulty remains undocumented, largely because there are few comprehensive assessment tools. Difficulties with syntax and vocabulary also have been reported, but since findings are mixed, it is not clear whether young adults with HFASD have difficulties in these language domains. In addition, our standardized test instruments may not be sufficiently sensitive to detect subtle difficulties with sophisticated syntax. If so, in conversation, adults with HFASD might exhibit problems in vocabulary and grammar that influence listeners’ impressions, but that would not be detected by a standardized test. The objectives of this study were to determine, in comparison to a control group, whether subtle communication impairments of young adults with HFASD would be detected by formal language assessments and/or language sample analysis. The language sample was derived from a simulated employment interview. Performance on the Communication Checklist-Adult (CC-A) and the Nonliteral Language and Pragmatic Judgment subtests from the Communication Assessment of Spoken Language (CASL) was expected to reveal deficits in pragmatic skill, while difficulties in syntax or vocabulary on the Test of Adolescent and Adult Language – 4 (TOAL-4) were not expected. Language sample analysis was expected to reveal subtle differences in language that were not revealed on the conventional assessments. Twenty adults with ASD were compared to 20 controls. Groups did not significantly differ on sex, nonverbal abilities and educational level. A standardized test battery was administered and a simulated job interview with a professional recruitment consultant was conducted to generate a language sample. Transcripts of the language samples were used to generate indices of pragmatics (Pragmatic Rating Scale, PRS), vocabulary (e.g., lexical diversity, lexical sophistication and word errors), and syntax (e.g. mean length of utterance and subordination index). Pragmatics: On the CASL, the average standard score of participants with HFASD was significantly lower than the mean standard score of the controls. Even so, the mean subtest standard…
