Abstract

The authors argue that embracing gestalt language development is an important neurodiversity-affirmative practice and offer clinical and research recommendations to promote understanding and respect for this alternative developmental pathway. They discuss the factor that affects research into gestalt language acquisition, personal accounts in which autistic people reflect on their gestalt language use, and benefits of embracing gestalts.
