Abstract

From a linguistic standpoint, the consequences of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in both communication and linguistic skills are relatively well known. However, few studies have been conducted to observe the phonetic and phonemic domain. The aim of this study is to analyse the phonetic and phonemic performance of children with ASD from pre-primary school to third grade. This was accomplished by using the CLAFF, a guideline for classifying phonetic and phonemic adjustments. This study presents a cross-sectional approach and the sample was obtained via a consecutive non-probabilistic model. The main results showed that children with ASD prefer adjustments in manner of articulation and syncope. A Chi-squared analysis revealed a significant statistical association between School grade and Category of adjustment. To further observe this association, a multinomial logistic regression analysis was run, which showed that School grade predicted the probability of occurrence of adjustments that affect phonemic features rather the syllable.
