DLD and ASD have received a lot of attention in the literature of neurodevelopmental language and communication disorders. In the first seminar, we will discuss differences and similarities between the two conditions in monolingual children with the diagnosis and evaluate their respective profile in lexical, syntactic and discourse-related skill development against the backdrop of some milestones attested in neurotypical first language acquisition. The role of external factors, such as the family's socioeconomic status, will be discussed with the aim of understanding how SES can be a proxy for language experience and its role in neurodivergence.
