This study examined fluency of speech and three linguistic measure in 12 school-age children with Asperger's Disorder (AD), 12 matched children who stutter (CWS), and 12 matched children with no diagnosis (ND). The frequency and type of disfluency as well as the measures of linguistic length, complexity, and fluency were collected during an expository discourse task. Results revealed trends of increased overall disfluencies, non-stuttering-like disfluencies (NSLDs), and stuttering-like disfluencies (SLDs) in the children with AD as compared to the children with ND and increased word-final disfluencies (WFDs) in the AD group as compared to both the CWS and the children with ND. Statistically significant differences were found between the CWS and the children with ND for frequency of overall disfluencies and SLDs and among all three groups for frequency of SLDs. No statistically significant differences were noted among the three groups for percentage of words containing NSLDs or WFDs. In the AD group, 33% met the diagnostic criteria for a speech fluency disorder. As a group, the children with AD appeared to exhibit more of a tendency toward disfluent speech than children with ND, but this disfluency was often different in presentation than for CWS. There were no statistically significant differences among the three groups for number of words, clauses, or repairs per C-unit. Trends in the raw data showed the greatest frequency of repairs per C-unit among children with AD and CWS and the highest and lowest measures of linguistic length and complexity among CWS and children with AD, respectively. Each of these two groups used repairs for different communicative purposes. Study findings provide limited support to the assumptions of the Child Talk model (Chapman et al., 1992) and greater support to both the Affect Diathesis Hypothesis (Greenspan, 2001) and the Emotional Reactivity, Regulation, and Stuttering Model (Karrass et al., 2006).
