Abstract: Age is an important factor to determine the prognosis of pregnancy. Globally, the complications of pregnancy and childbirth are the second leading cause of death in women aged 15 to 19 years. Maternal death in pregnant women and childbirth at the age below 20 years is 2 to 5 times higher than at the age of 20 to 29 years and increases again at the age of 30 to 35 years. Around 20-30% of women under 20 years old especially in primiparity have higher risk of having low birth weight (LBW) babies and fetal malformation is the cause of perinatal mortality.

This descriptive study evaluates the speech disfluencies of 8 verbal children between 3 and 5 years of age with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Speech samples were collected for each child during standardized interactions. Percentage and types of disfluencies observed during speech samples are discussed. Although they did not have a clinical diagnosis of stuttering, all of the young children with ASD in this study produced disfluencies. In addition to stuttering-like disfluencies and other typical disfluencies, the children with ASD also produced atypical disfluencies, which usually are not observed in children with typically developing speech or developmental stuttering.
