Mundy, Peter; And Others
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v17 n3 p349-64 Sep 1987
A study of 16 autistic children (mean age 54.5 months) found functional and symbolic play skills associated with language ability and certain nonverbal skills (such as the ability to use gestures to coordinate attention between social partners) also correlated with language ability, but not with play variables.
