“…Following up on Kanner's (1946) observations, early clinical studies were focused on describing the abnormal language used by children with autism, which included atypical intonation and vocal quality, idiosyncratic use of words and stereotyped phrases, echolalia, and pronoun reversal (e.g., Cunningham, 1966;Goldfarb, Braunstein, & Lorge, 1956;Pronovost, Wakstein, & Wakstein, 1966;Shapiro & Fish, 1969). The majority of these published reports were neither methodologically systematic nor developmentally informed as they relied mostly on poorly defined clinical samples or single case histories.…”

Several different methodological approaches that have been used in studying language in children with autism are outlined. In classic studies, children with autism are compared to comparison groups typically matched on age, IQ, or mental age in order to identify which aspects of language are uniquely impaired in autism. Several methodological problems are noted with this approach including (a) heterogeneity of the autism population, (b) mental retardation, (c) developmental change with age, and (d) sample size and ascertainment. An alternative strategy is suggested which focuses on identifying the complex expression of the language phenotype in autism across the full range of the syndrome. This approach explores within-group individual differences in language functioning, and recently identified distinct language phenotypic subgroups within the autism population that are relevant to understanding the underlying genetic and neurobiological etiology of autism.

“…From its earliest characterizations, ASD has been associated with peculiar tones of voice and disturbances of prosody [Asperger, ; Goldfarb, Braunstein, & Lorge, ; Kanner, ; Pronovost, Wakstein, & Wakstein, ; Simmons & Baltaxe, ]. Although 70–80% of individuals with ASD develop functional spoken language, at least half of the ASD population displays early atypical acoustic patterns [Paul et al, ; Rogers et al, ; Shriberg et al, ], which persist while other aspects of language improve [Baltaxe & Simmons, ; Depape, Chen, Hall, & Trainor, ].…”

Lay Abstract: Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are reported to speak in distinctive ways. Distinctive vocal production should be better understood as it can affect social interactions and social development and could represent a noninvasive marker for ASD. We systematically review the existing scientific literature reporting quantitative acoustic analysis of vocal production in ASD and identify repeated and consistent findings of higher pitch mean and variability but not of other differences in acoustic features. We also identify a recent approach relying on multiple aspects of vocal production and machine learning algorithms to automatically identify ASD from voice only. This latter approach is very promising,

“…Goldfarb, Goldfarb, and Scholl (1966) provided the first empirical study in what one hopes will continue to be a series of fruitful investigations of this hitherto largely speculative issue. As in Goldfarb, Braunstein, and Lorge (1956), Goldfarb et al (1966) employed the services of a speech pathologist as judge/analyst in assessing such factors as volume, rate, pitch, phrasing, intonation, and the communication of mood and meaning. These aspects of speech and language were rated on a five-point scale: (1) very poor, (2) poor, (3) fair, (4) good, and (5) excellent.…”

The book published under the same title addressed those precincts of language behavior wherein the interests of the psychologist, psychiatrist, linguist, and speech pathologist showed some tendencies toward convergence. The principal focus was on aspects of language and paralanguage-variously, and on the whole, indifferently referred to as "deviation," "anomalies," "aberrations," or "disturbances" -that occur with sufficient frequency in relation to certain categories of personality disorders that they have long occupied a prominent (and coritroversial) place in the psychodiagnostic process.Language Behavior and Psychopathology (1969) made clear to the reader that it did not deal with such primary patterns of language disturbance as aphasia and stuttering. This was not to deny the relevance of psychopathological considerations in such language disorders. The importance of emotional conflict in the pathogenesis of stuttering had been amply documented, and there was abundant clinical evidence that aphasic patients might react adversely to their lowered or altered capacities'in symbolizing and communicating, even to the extent of exhibiting what Kurt Goldstein called a "catastrophic reaction." Regardless, however, of any psychopathological factors that may be present in aphasia or stuttering, both are essentially linguistic disorders. Their principal symptoms are manifested in vocal speech, and their treatment requires some or a great deal of speech therapy and retraining.On the other hand, as the book sought to emphasize, the linguistic and v vi Preface paralinguistic phenomena that occur as concomitants to conventional psychiatric syndromes might be characterized more accurately as language symptoms than as language disturbances. Clinical descriptions of personality disorders prominently feature descriptions of language and paralinguistic behavior. Anyone questioning this statement need only try to imagine the difficulties presented by the psychodiagnostic assessment of a patient bereft of speech. Much, if not most, diagnostic test behavior is language behavior, and among the chief criteria for gauging therapeutic progress is change in language behavior.If there was a common orientation toward language and communication behavior in the psychopathological context, it expressed itself in two objectives. The first was an attempt to arrive at a precise description of the way or ways that individuals diagnosed as belonging to a particular nos...
