Abstract

Objective To compare the differences in developmental levels between children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and children with developmental language disorder (DLD) of different genders, so as to provide theoretical basis for individualized educational interventions for preschool ASD children. Methods A total of 116 ASD children aged 2 - 5 years and 97 DLD children from October 2021 to June 2022 were evaluated by using the Griffiths Developmental Scale, and the evaluation results of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results Except for motor development, personal-social,language, hand-eye coordination, performance dimension and practical reasoning DQs of ASD chilren were all significantly lower than those of DLD children(t=4.45, 3.69, 5.88, 5.60, 5.76, P＜0.001). ASD children had significantly lower scores in personal-social, language, hand-eye coordination, performance dimension and practical reasoning DQs than DLD children(boys: t=3.28、2.57、2.85、2.52、3.92; girls: t=3.29、2.79、8.62、9.07、6.86, P＜0.01). Girls with ASD had lower hand-eye coordination and performance DQs than boys with ASD(t=3.51, 4.84, P＜0.01). Conclusions Except for motor development, DQs of ASD children are all significantly lower than DLD children. DQs of some developmental areas in ASD girls lag behind those of ASD boys. Therefore, it is necessary to provide high-intensity individualized interventions for ASD children of different genders.
