Language Disabilities in Infantile Autism: A Brief Review and Comment.
Schwartz, Steven
Applied Psycholinguistics, v2 n1 p25-31 Feb 1981
Past studies of autistic children's memory for linguistic materials have shown that autistics have a special linguistic coding difficulty. Because the autistic deficit stems from a failure to use semantic and syntactic knowledge or from a failure to acquire such forms, future research should explore the mechanics underlying this deficit.
