A Meta-Analysis of Functional Prosody in Autism Spectrum Disorder (Updated June 20, 2024).

This article discusses a preprint abstract that focuses on the linguistic abilities of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who do not have cognitive deficits. While these individuals may have well-developed linguistic abilities in certain aspects of language, such as speech sounds and grammar, they often show impairments in pragmatic and prosodic aspects of language. The paper specifically examines the prosodic abilities of individuals with ASD and Asperger Syndrome. It is important to note that this preprint has not yet undergone peer review.
