Summary
This online article describes a research study which examined the relationship between parental verbal responsiveness and the language skills of children with autism. Unexpectedly, the study found that the fathers' verbal responsiveness was more strongly related to child language skills than the mothers' verbal responsiveness.

The Autism Spectrum Disorders Treatment and Care Research group, based out of York University, writes summaries of research studies on autism and developmental disabilities to inform parents, individuals with autism, practitioners, and the general public on recent findings about autism.
