Many autistic children show an intense interest in letters and numbers, which may play a distinct role in their language development. Researchers found that 37% of autistic children had a strong interest in letters, in contrast to just 3% of non-autistic peers.

Brains over bots: why toddlers still beat AI at learning language
Even the smartest machines can’t match young minds at language learning. Researchers share new findings on how children stay ahead of AI - and why it matters. If a human learned language at the same rate as ChatGPT, it would take them 92,000 years.…

Autistic language abilities are vastly more complex than “verbal” or “nonverbal”. Language profiles in autism are better described on two separate axes — receptive comprehension and expressive language — than by the usual three broad categories of verbal,…
* 🗣️ New research published in npj Science of Learning suggests a more detailed, two-dimensional approach to understanding language in autistic individuals. This method separates language comprehension and expressive language, moving beyond traditional broad categories.
* 🧠 The study analyzed data from 62,414 autistic individuals (ages 4-22) and identified three comprehension profiles (command, modifier, syntactic) and four expressive language profiles (nonspeaking, single-word, single-sentence, multi-sentence).
* 📊 Combining these dimensions revealed four primary receptive-expressive profiles, offering a more precise picture of individual language abilities than previous classifications. The traditional three-part system may oversimplify communication patterns.

Screen time isn’t linked to language delays in autistic children, large U.S. study finds
Unlike in neurotypical kids, screen time does not appear to hinder language development in young autistic children. Instead, a new study suggests that frequent shared book reading at home is a key driver of stronger communication skills.
