Twelve children (ages 4-11) with autism and 12 controls selected their preferred prosody of voice or a story passage recorded using monotonous, conversational, and enthusiastic prosodies. Significant preferences were found for 3 children with autism. Children were less likely to respond if a monotonous prosody was used. (Contains references.) (CR)
