Abstract

Introduction: Language and communication is very important in social, emotional, and cognitive development of children. Delay in language is the first complaint for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or developmental language delay (DLD). In this study it is aimed to evaluate and compare language profiles and autistic symptoms between children diagnosed with ASD, DLD, and healthy controls. Method: Twenty-six children who are diagnosed with ASD, 43 children who are diagnosed with DLD, and 47 healthy controls are included to study; and all children are in the age of 48–72 months. Test of Early Language Development was used to evaluate language profiles, and autism spectrum symptoms were evaluated with social communication questionnaire (SCQ). Results: The sociodemographic features of groups were similar. The statistical significant differences were found in all language subscales and subscales of SCQ among three groups. Both children who were diagnosed with ASD and DLD had more autism spectrum symptoms when compared to controls. Discussion: In present study, it is indicated that developmental language trajectories are different in ASD and DLD group. Children, who are diagnosed with ASD, have more receptive language difficulties while children, who are diagnosed with DLD, have more language difficulties in expressive language area. The finding, children who are diagnosed with DLD have more autistic symptoms, shows that autistic symptoms are related with language development, and it is very important to give preference to language education in the treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Çocukların duygusal, sosyal ve bilişsel gelişiminde dil ve iletişimin önemi çok büyüktür. Hem otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) hem de gelişimsel dil gecikmesi (GDG) olan çocukların ilk yakınması konuşmada gecikme olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada OSB ve GDG tanılı çocukların dil profillerini ve otistik belirtilerini incelemek ve kontrollerle karşılaştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 48–72 ay arasında; OSB tanısı konulan 26 çocuk; dil gelişiminde gecikme olan 43 çocuk ve sağlıklı 47 çocuk dahil edilmiştir. Dil becerilerini ölçmek için Türkçe erken dil gelişim testi, otizm belirtilerini değerlendirmek için sosyal iletişim ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar: Olgu ve kontrollerin sosoyodemografik özellikleri farksızdır. Gruplar, otizm spektrum belirtileri, alıcı dil ve ifade edici dil becerileri açısından karşılaştırıldığında, tüm alanlarda gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır. Hem OSB tanısı olan çocukların hem de GDG tanısı olan çocukların otizm spektrum belirtileri, kontrollerle kıyaslandığında daha fazladır. Tartışma: Çalışmamızın bulguları OSB ve GDG grubunun farklı gelişimsel dil özellikleri taşıdıklarını; OSB tanısı olanların güçlüklerinin daha çok alıcı dil açısından olduğunu ve GDG tanısı olanları ise ifade edici dil alanında daha fazla güçlüklerinin olduğunu göstermiştir. GDG tanısı olanların kontrollere göre daha fazla otistik belirtiler göstermesi; dil gelişimi ile otistik belirtiler arasında ilişki olduğunu ve tedavide dil eğitiminin büyük önemi olduğunu göstermektedir.
