Abstract
Impairments in social communication are core features of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Even high-functioning individuals with ASD who have advanced formal language skills (ie, phonology, morphology, and syntax) are impaired in pragmatics (ie, the social use of language in context).1 Understanding the communicative intentions of others is particularly difficult for individuals with ASD when nonliteral language is used, as in the case of irony.2-5Keywords
