Parents of toddlers with an older sibling with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; high risk, HR) and parents of low risk (LR) toddlers with typically-developing older siblings read a wordless picture book to their child at 22 and 28 months. Parents' and toddlers' internal state language (ISL) was coded; parents reported on toddlers' use of ISL. Diagnostic assessments conducted at 36 months identified three groups: ASD, HR-noASD, LR. Parents did not differ in overall ISL, but parents of toddlers with later ASD attempted to elicit ISL from their children less than parents of LR toddlers. Toddlers increased their use of ISL with age, but those with ASD had lower scores and less age-related improvement than children in the other two groups.
有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD；高风险，HR）大龄兄弟姐妹的幼儿的父母和低风险（LR）幼儿的父母在 22 个月和 28 个月大时为他们的孩子阅读无字图画书。对父母和幼儿的内部状态语言（ISL）进行了编码；父母报告了幼儿使用 ISL 的情况。在 36 个月时进行的诊断评估确定了三个组：ASD、HR-非 ASD、LR。父母在总体 ISL 方面没有差异，但患有 ASD 的幼儿的父母比 LR 幼儿的父母更不愿意从孩子那里引出 ISL。幼儿随着年龄的增长增加了他们使用 ISL 的次数，但与其他两组相比，患有 ASD 的幼儿的得分较低，且年龄相关的改善较少。
