“… Nevill et al (2019 ) showed a positive association between the frequency of other-directed vocalizations and expressive language abilities of autistic children. Frost et al (2022 ) and Şengül et al (2021 ) also observed a significant positive relationship between expressive language and object imitation skills. However, this effect disappeared when joint attention was added to the model, suggesting that object imitation does not provide unique variance in the prediction of expressive language abilities ( Frost et al, 2022 ).…”

“…A majority of 30 out of 40 studies (75%) exclusively included monolingual English-speaking children. Languages that were investigated in the remaining ten studies were Cantonese Chinese ( Song & So, 2022 ), Catalan ( Torras-Mañá et al, 2016 ), Dutch ( Bruyneel et al, 2019a ; Bruyneel et al, 2019b ), French ( Bang & Nadig, 2015 ), Italian ( Riva et al, 2018 ), Korean ( Kim et al, 2020 ), Mandarin Chinese ( Chen et al, 2021 ; Li et al, 2021 ; Wu et al, 2021 ), Spanish ( Torras-Mañá et al, 2016 ), and Turkish ( Okcun-Akcamus et al, 2019 ; Şengül et al, 2021 ).…”

Background & aims Language abilities of autistic children and children at elevated likelihood for autism (EL-siblings) are highly heterogeneous, and many of them develop language deficits. It is as of yet unclear why language abilities of autistic children and EL-siblings vary, although an interaction of multiple influential factors is likely at play. In this review, we describe research articles that identify one or multiple of such factors associated with the receptive or expressive language abilities of autistic children and EL-siblings since the introduction of the DSM-5. Our aim was to identify and summarize factors that are linked to language development in autistic children and siblings in the recent literature to ultimately gain insight into the heterogeneity of language abilities in these children. Methods The search strategy of this review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The following databases were consulted: Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus. Inclusion criteria for studies were the presence of a sample of autistic children no older than 7 years old who were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder per the criteria of the DSM-5. Intervention studies and studies without an explicitly reported language measure were excluded. Risk of bias assessment was completed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scales. Ultimately, 55 articles were included in this review. Main contribution Fifty-six factors were identified to be related to receptive or expressive language abilities of autistic children and EL-siblings. They were grouped into three main categories: biological factors; psychosocial and environmental factors; and age-related and developmental factors, each with different subcategories. Although many of the identified variables were only examined in one article, some well-researched associated factors were reported across multiple studies and were present in both autistic children and EL-siblings, in particular joint attention, nonverbal cognitive abilities and frontal EEG power. Better insight in these factors associated with language abilities in autistic children and siblings at elevated likelihood can inform future intervention strategies to reduce language deficits and its corresponding negative consequences in these children. Conclusions Our results confirm that multiple different factors likely underlie language deficits in autism. Important aspects that should be considered are, among others, social factors such as joint attention, child characteristics such as nonverbal cognition, and neurocognitive factors.
