The purpose of this study was to analyze the acquisition of communicative functions and means in 15 children and youth with autism over a 1-year period. Study participants made advances in skills development in both functions and means, replacing more primitive forms of communication with more advanced forms. Functions appeared to follow a developmental sequence from behavior regulation to social interaction to joint attention.
