This $660,365 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" supports a cross-linguistic, family-genetic study of pragmatic (social) language in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the broad autism phenotype. The project will employ cutting-edge analytic platforms and innovative deep behavioral and targeted neural phenotyping methods to delineate similarities and differences in pragmatic language profiles between Cantonese and English speakers with ASD and their unaffected first-degree relatives. The primary goals are to elucidate the complex biological and environmental influences on pragmatic language abilities, identify pragmatic features under strong genetic control, and understand how pragmatic language profiles may differentially express across typologically distinct languages. Northwestern University, the awardee, will lead this multidisciplinary international research effort over a 5-year period from May 2024 to April 2029.
