Therefore, there is a need for studies of this type in the language arena in order to determine whether improvements in language skills are caused by increases in grey matter within the same individuals, or whether some individuals have higher grey matter in some brain regions which enables them to attain higher levels of language proficiency.
In conclusion, general population variation in autistic traits and receptive language ability are caused by largely different etiological factors.
When the national programme commences, primary care may be well placed to assist in providing information and support to hard to reach groups with special needs, such as those with poor English language skills, complications caused by pre existing medical conditions, or unusually high levels of anxiety.
