Healthcare Access of Autistic Language Minorities: The Case of English Official Language Minorities in Quebec, Canada
English and French are both official languages in Canada. Whereas official language minorities (English speakers in Quebec, French speakers in the rest of Canada) face healthcare barriers and poor health outcomes, autistic individuals and their families also struggle with accessing healthcare. We examined healthcare access at the intersection of these groups: the autistic community, including English minority-language speakers from Quebec, French…
Verbal fluency in bilingual children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
We examine the impact of bilingualism on verbal fluency in four groups of school-age (5 to 10 years-old) children: 13 Typically-developing (TYP) monolingual children, 13 TYP bilingual children, 13 monolingual children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and 13 bilingual children with ASD. Participants were matched on chronological age and nonverbal IQ. Verbal fluency was examined via the word association subtest of the Clinical Evaluation of Lan…
Children's referential understanding of novel words and parent labeling behaviors: Similarities across children with and without autism spectrum disorders
This study examined two facets of the use of social cues for early word learning in parent–child dyads, where children had an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or were typically developing. In Experiment 1, we investigated word learning and generalization by children with ASD (age range: 3;01–6;02) and typically developing children (age range: 1;02–4;09) who were matched on language ability. In Experiment 2, we examined verbal and non-verbal parenta…

Intact and impaired mechanisms of action understanding in autism
Typically developing children understand and predict others' behavior by extracting and processing relevant information such as the logic of their actions within the situational constraints and the intentions conveyed by their gaze direction and emotional expressions. Children with autism have difficulties understanding and predicting others' actions. With the use of eye tracking and behavioral measures, we investigated action understanding mecha…
Evidence of Perspective-Taking Constraints in Children's On-Line Reference Resolution
Young children's communication has often been characterized as egocentric. Some researchers claim that the processing of language involves an initial stage that relies on egocentric heuristics, even in adults. Such an account, combined with general developmental difficulties with late-stage processes, could provide an explanation for much of children's egocentric communication. However, the experimental data reported in this article do not suppor…
