Many parents report a phenomenon of language regression at a young age in their autistic child. That is, their child had started their language development, but with the onset of autistic symptoms, the child lost the use of previously acquired language. This phenomenon is generally considered to be a sign of a poor language prognosis, without there being any solid evidence on the subject.
This study shows that autistic people who have experienced language regression have the same language prognosis as other autistic people. Their development process is however atypical and marked by a language plateau, followed by catching up in language level.
