Language Disorders in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs)

Dear Colleagues,

The scope of this Special Issue is to offer a platform to the researchers, clinicians, and educators to publish cutting-edge and high-standard research regarding language disorders in relation to ASDs. We welcome a wide range of manuscripts on various topics, including but not limited to the following areas: language differences in males and females with ASDs, assessment of co-occurring language disorders in ASDs, evidence-based research in the treatment of language disorders in ASDs, comparison of language profiles between rare syndromes and ASDs, bilingualism in ASDs, written language skills in ASDs, the interplay of language and cognition in ASDs, and the use of novel/ AI tools to discriminate autistic and neurotypical language. This Special Issue welcomes submissions of original research articles, reviews, case studies, and clinical trials applying novel assessment methods and intervention approaches/techniques for assessing and diminishing the impact of language disorders on everyday communication skills and/or the academic performance of ASD individuals, thus ameliorating the quality of life of autistic people.
