The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability to understand indirect speech acts of Asperger syndrome children. 12 Asperger syndrome children from grade 1 to 4 and age matched 12 general children participated in this study. All children performed an indirect speech acts comprehension task. After the child read context sentence and indirect speech acts sentence, they said the meaning of the indirect sentences. When the child was misunderstood, an the additional clue question was added to predict the concrete behavior and than the child’s reaction was recorded. As a result, children with Asperger syndrome had a lower level of understanding of indirect speech acts than children in general. In the case of the additional clue questions, the children with Asperger syndrome children showed a significantly higher level of positive response compared to the general children, but the score of the understanding of indirect speech acts tasks was still lower than that of the general children. With these results for children with Asperger syndrome is an indirect speech act comprehension is significantly weaker than the general children, but we also confirmed the significantly increased by providing a additional clue question. Based on this results, we discussed the understanding of indirect speech acts with Asperger syndrome children and the improvement of social communication ability of Asperger syndrome children.
