Peer reviewedBaltaxe, Christiane A. M.; Guthrie, Donald – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1987
The study examined the use of primary sentence stress by seven preschool autistic children with mean length of utterance (MLU) scores between 1.9 and 4.1 morphemes with normal and aphasic subjects serving as controls. Differences were seen in the number of correct responses and in the pattern of stress misassignment. (Author/DB)
