In autism, language can present itself as a specifier or comorbidity, making it essential to distinguish between structure (linguistic forms) and function (communicative use). It is essential to define communicative-linguistic profiles to identify when a targeted intervention is necessary, based on warning signals for parents and professionals. Speech therapy intervention should start from developmental and neurocognitive principles, integrating protocols such as Oral Motor Therapy and Prompt to improve communicative and motor language skills.
