Abstract

Objective To analyze the language development of autistic children aged around 4 years and the gap between autistic children and normal children at the same age. Methods 1) Vocabulary mastery scale was used to measure the mastery of vocabulary between 103 normal children and 100 autistic children.2) Autism Rating Scale (CARS),Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) and Vocabulary Mastery Scale were used to measure the language ability of autistic children,and the correlation among the three methods was calculated. Results Significant differences on the mastery of vocabulary between autistic children and normal children were found (P<0.01),and the degree of vocabulary damage varied with each other.Vocabulary mastery was positively related to CARS and ABC. Conclusion 3.5 to 4.5-year-old autistic children's language ability is significantly lower than that of normal children,vocabulary mastery has a "broken all" mode.CARS,ABC,and Vocabulary Mastery Scales are reliable for measuring autistic children's language abilities.
