Overview
"The current study investigated the frequency, content, and development of question-asking in typically developing (TD) children and children with ASD through an online survey of 145 caregivers of children under 6 years old. Children with ASD were found to lag behind TD peers in both frequency and proportion of questions asked. Children with ASD were reported to ask more closed-ended (yes/no) questions as compared to more open-ended wh-questions. In exploring question function, differences between diagnostic groups became more profound as language level increased. However, survey responses about echolalia suggest that questions asked by children with ASD are, indeed, generative." --Abstract.
