  • Title: Atypical vocal imitation of speech and song in autism spectrum disorder: Evidence from Mandarin speakers.
    Author: Wang L, Pfordresher PQ, Jiang C, Liu F.
    Journal: Autism; 2024 Sep 06; ():13623613241275395. PubMed ID: 39239838.
    Abstract:
    Atypical vocal imitation has been identified in English-speaking autistic individuals, whereas the characteristics of vocal imitation in tone-language-speaking autistic individuals remain unexplored. By comparing speech and song imitation, the present study reveals a unique pattern of atypical vocal imitation across speech and music domains among Mandarin-speaking autistic individuals. The findings suggest that tone language experience does not compensate for difficulties in vocal imitation in autistic individuals and extends our understanding of vocal imitation in autism across different languages.
