Daily language interactions predict child outcomes. For multilingual families who rear neurodiverse children and who may be minoritized for their language use, a dearth of research examines families’ daily language interactions. Utilizing a language socialization framework and a case study methodology, 4,991 English and Spanish utterances from a 5-year old autistic child and his family were collected during naturally occurring interactions over 10 days. Utterances were analyzed for patterns of code-switching by speaker, activity setting, English or Spanish initial language, and code-switch function. Spanish was spoken in most activities. For reading, both languages were equally employed by the father. While participants used both languages across all activity settings, significant variations in code-switching type and function were observed by activity setting and speaker. We discuss implications for how home language resources can be integrated into autism interventions.

Hablando 在家：检查双语自闭症儿童的互动资源

日常语言互动可以预测孩子的结局。对于养育神经多样化儿童且可能因语言使用而受到少数群体影响的多语言家庭来说，缺乏对家庭日常语言互动的研究。利用语言社会化框架和案例研究方法，收集了一名 5 岁自闭症儿童及其家人在 10 多天的自然互动过程中的 4,991 条英语和西班牙语话语。分析了说话者的语码转换模式、活动设置、英语或西班牙语初始语言以及语码转换功能。大多数活动都讲西班牙语。在阅读方面，父亲同样使用两种语言。虽然参与者在所有活动设置中都使用两种语言，但根据活动设置和说话者观察到语码转换类型和功能的显着差异。我们讨论如何将家庭语言资源整合到自闭症干预措施中的含义。
