This study was designed to explore to compare the early communicative profiles of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) and Intellectual Disability(ID). The participants were 9 ASD and 9 ID who were ranged 33-to 87-month olds. All participants scored less than 24 months of language age on the SELSI. Communicative samples were collected using 4 different structured communicative behavior scripts and free-play with examiner. The frequency of overall communicative behaviors, communicative functions and communicative means were analyzed. The results were as follows (1) ASD children showed significantly lower frequencies of communicative behaviors than ID children, (2) there were significant differences in responsiveness to their own name and refusal behavior with demonstrating that ASD children performed poorer than ID on these functions, and (3) ASD children used more frequent the combination of gestures and speech than ID. While ID used more frequent all other means of gesture, speech, vocalization, and the combination of gestures and vocalization. The frequency of communicative behavior, function, and means seems to be indicators to differentiate ASD from ID.
