Eight young adults with autism and autistic-like pervasive developmental disorders (POD) and eight mentally retarded adults were matched for nonverbal IQ and given a series of standard language tests. They were then engaged in conversations into which examiners injected three types of contingent query requests for clarification ('I watched "Dynasty" last night.' "You watched what?"). Results of the standard language measures revealed that the POD group was inferior in all areas except articulation. Responses to the contingent. query task showed the POD group to be both less specific and less willing to supply information beyond that directly queried. Implications of these results for understanding the social and linguistic deficiencies in autism are discussed.
