dc.description.abstractCurrent research suggests that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a lower strive for central coherence than Typically developing (TD) individuals. The particular issue of lexical ambiguity is outlined, as this seems to be a specific issue. A novel experiment is described, concerning disambiguation of homonyms in conditions without context, and with sentence context present. Participants were 30 individuals, 16 with high-functioning ASD, 14 typically developing controls, matched on age and gender. There was a significant interaction effect between group (ASD/TD) and condition (no context/context) for the performance of choosing subordinates. Implications of these findings are discussed; results of lower performance on disambiguation of homonyms in context can be used for diagnosis.en_US
