Parents and professionals are concerned that second language exposure may delay communication in children with ASD. In this study 174 youth (6-16 years) with and without ASD, exposed to a second language, were compared on executive function (EF) and functional communication (FC) with their peers without exposure. There were no significant differences between groups on age, IQ, and socioeconomic status. Parents reported on language exposure and rated EF and FC skills within everyday social contexts. The findings indicated that second language exposure in children with ASD is not associated with delay in cognitive and functional communication skills rather there was evidence of a reduced clinical impact as indexed by a lower percentage of children whose FC and EF ratings fell within the clinical range.
家长和专业人士担心，接触第二语言可能会延迟自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的沟通能力发展。在本研究中，对174名6至16岁接触和未接触第二语言的患有和未患有ASD的青少年，就其执行功能（EF）和功能性沟通（FC）与未接触第二语言的同龄人进行了比较。两组在年龄、智商和社会经济地位方面没有显著差异。家长报告了孩子的语言接触情况，并对日常社交情境中的EF和FC技能进行了评分。研究结果表明，ASD儿童接触第二语言与认知和功能性沟通技能的延迟无关，相反，有证据表明临床影响有所减轻，表现为FC和EF评分落在临床范围内的儿童比例较低。
