Abstract

Research conducted internationally has identified specific linguistic characteristics in the narrative abilities of children with high-functioning autism, primarily evident in phonetics, semantics, grammar, and pragmatics. These characteristics contribute to their expressive deficits and pose challenges in social interactions. This paper reviews recent studies on the narrative language features of children with high-functioning autism, both domestically and abroad, providing a theoretical foundation to enhance scientific interventions and support for autistic children whose first language is Chinese.
