Characterizing early communicative development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is valuable for understanding profiles of ability in this population. The current investigation was modeled on Charman, Drew, Baird & Baird (2003b). Analyses explored parent report of early vocabulary, non-verbal communication, functional object use and play skills on the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) in 93 children with ASD, 31 children with developmental delay (DD) and 29 typically developing children. Results were generally consistent with those of Charman and colleagues (2003b), suggesting that skills improve with increasing non-verbal mental age and chronological age but that most children with ASD are delayed in receptive and expressive vocabulary and non-verbal communication, functional object use and play skills. Vocabulary profiles in the ASD sample were similar to those in the comparison samples, as was the developmental pattern of gesture and vocabulary mastery. However, when compared to published norms, children with ASD may show less of a discrepancy between their receptive and expressive vocabulary.
对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的早期交流发展进行特征描述，对于了解这一人群的能力概况具有重要价值。当前的调查是以查曼、德鲁、贝尔德和贝尔德（2003b）的研究为蓝本。分析探讨了93名自闭症谱系障碍儿童、31名发育迟缓（DD）儿童和29名发育正常儿童的家长在麦克阿瑟-贝茨交流发展量表（CDI）上对早期词汇、非言语交流、功能性物品使用和玩耍技能的报告。结果总体上与查曼及其同事（2003b）的研究一致，表明技能随着非言语心理年龄和实际年龄的增长而提高，但大多数自闭症谱系障碍儿童在接受性和表达性词汇以及非言语交流、功能性物品使用和玩耍技能方面存在延迟。自闭症谱系障碍样本中的词汇概况与比较样本中的相似，手势和词汇掌握的发展模式也是如此。然而，与已公布的标准相比，自闭症谱系障碍儿童在接受性和表达性词汇之间的差异可能较小。
