They're trying to make headlines, assuming that readers will not read the whole study (which, alas, is probable.)

forgive me if i misunderstood but i cant read very well,

all i read was that people with aspergers syndrome have better verbal skills than those with Autism

My I.Q test showed that i have a low Verbal and Language I.Q, soo where do i land on the spectrum?

aspergers do have better overall speech and language skills-including into adult hood but the comorbid issues experienced by some aspies can flavour their aspergers,eg; issues like elective mutism, specific learning difficulties,speech and oral motor impairments,oral dyspraxia etc.
some mental illnesses can cause speech issues,so coud low self esteem or anxiety and sensory overload.

Maybe someone should send a copy of this to those idiots Matt Stone and Trey Parker at South Park. Not only is autism a physiologically real condition but there are even points along the spectrum which differ from each other noticeably. I'm sure this report didn't surprise anyone here.

"Language functions such as grammar, vocabulary and literal meaning[14][15] are typically lateralized to the left hemisphere, especially in right handed individuals.[15] While language production is left-lateralized in up to 90% of right-handed subjects, it is more bilateral, or even right lateralized in approximately 50% of left-handers.[16] In contrast, prosodic language functions, such as intonation and accentuation, often are lateralized to the right hemisphere of the brain.[17][18]


Curious? can anyone provide a recent published breakdown of left handed and right handed people who have been diagnosed with autism?

Abnormal Brain Lateralization in High-Functioning Autism

Disturbances in lateral preference in autism are of interest because of their potential to shed light on brain maturational processes in this disorder. Forty-seven autistic individuals with a history of disordered early language development and 22 autistic individuals with normal early language acquisition were matched with 112 healthy individuals and compared on a standardized measure of lateral preference, the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory. Autistic individuals with a history of early language disturbance showed more atypical cerebral dominance than both healthy participants and autistic individuals with normal early language skills. The data indicated maturational disturbances in establishing lateral preference rather than increased rates of left handedness. Atypical establishment of cerebral dominance may be one cause of disordered language development in autism.
