Abstract
This pilot study attempted objective description of certain aspects of autistic children's speech production, language comprehension, and relationship to the environment. For each of the three areas, it was determined that data could be quantified in tabular form to indicate trends in the behavior of these children. Comparison of results in the three areas revealed discrepancies in the data which are no doubt due to the crudeness of the preliminary rating scales. It is obvious that measurement and observational techniques will need considerable refinement before further data are obtained. However, the pilot study did produce sufficiently promising results to encourage detailed study of the language development and comprehension of autistic children combined with an analysis of other aspects of their behavior.
