The main objective of the presentstudy was to analyze whether the two disorders have similar formal language profi les. Method: The study involved three groups of 20 students each, divided into ASD, SLI, and Control, of similar ages and IQ.The CELF-4 standardized test was administered to assess their language skills. Results: No signifi cant differences in language were found betweenthe SLI and ASD groups, with no effect sizes. Differences were observed between the SLI and ASD groups when they were compared separatelywith the Control group, with a large effect size. Conclusions: There is an overlap in the linguistic profi les of children with SLI and children with ASD. Similarity is thus confi rmed in comprehensive and expressive language, as well as in morphosyntactic and lexical-semantic production.
