The contribution analyzes the language competencies in children with autistic spectrum disorder, specifically with Asperger's syndrome. To diagnose an autistic spectrum disorder, the diagnostic triad has to be met. The communication, imagination and social behaviour impairment has to occur in the indiviual's clinical picture. The main part of contribution is comprised of the case studies of two boys of approximately the same age (12 years 8 months and 13 years 1 month) which have been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. The case studies contain information on the diagnostic triad. The aim of the contribution is to show differencies between children with the same diagnosis, especially in the communication area. To give the comprehensive picture, the case studies contain also the family anamnesis insight and the description of the current state of the children regarding their emotionality, social behaviour, play and motor activities.
The reseach investigation was realised under the specific grant research IGA_PdF_2016_019 (Research of selected parameters of the production and perception of voice, speech and language in relation to specific aetiological determinants in the speech and language therapy insight).
