Abstract

In this study, we investigated the core vocabulary used by children with or without asperger syndrome. Ten children with asperger syndrome and their peers participated in this investigation. The language samples were collected from their story retelling after watching two cartoon films. The language sample was analyzed to report the total number of words, total number of different word (TND), and number of spoken words used to make up 50%, 60%, 70% and 80% of the sample for each group. The amount of core vocabulary was less than 200 for children with asperger syndrome and their peers as well. In addition, the commonality of the two groups was also high.
