Cover Story: Autistic children present a highly heterogeneous linguistic phenotype involving both expressive and receptive difficulties. The latter, in particular when not associated with expressive deficits, may go unnoticed and may be neglected despite their relevance in everyday life. Grammatical comprehension is the most impaired language domain in autism and is a paramount prognostic marker for developmental trajectories. As grammatical comprehension difficulties tend to persist up to school-age (when generally speech therapy is gradually decreasing) specific interventions on both oral and written receptive skills are mandatory: provision of early support for the acquisition of adequate receptive language skills is crucial for further social development.
