Age of First Words Predicts Cognitive Ability and Adaptive Skills in Children with ASD

---

Abstract
Acquiring useful language by age 5 has been identified as a strong predictor of positive outcomes in
individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). This study examined the relationship between age of language acquisition and later functioning in children with ASD (n = 119). First word acquisition at a range of ages was probed for its relationship to cognitive ability and adaptive behaviors at 52 months. Results indicated that although producing first words predicted better outcome at every age examined, producing first words by 24 months was a particularly strong predictor of better outcomes. This finding
suggests that the historic criterion for positive prognosis (i.e., ‘‘useful language by age 5’’) can be updated to a more specific criterion with an earlier developmental time point
