Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, accompanied by restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests or activities (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Due to deficits in social communication and interaction, language, particularly in pragmatics and theory of mind, children with autism spectrum disorder experience difficulties in storytelling. The aim of this research was to explore potential differences in narrative production and comprehension between preschool children with ASD and intact language comprehension and their typically developing peers, as well as to describe specific features found in narratives of this clinical group. The study involved a total of 22 participants aged 5 to 7 years. The ASD group and the control group were matched in terms of age, cognitive status, and language comprehension. Narrative abilities were assessed using the MAIN, a Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (Hržica i Kuvač Kraljević, 2020; Gagarina i sur., 2019). Narrative macrostructure production and comprehension were evaluated following the MAIN protocol and guidelines. Macrostructure was observed through measures such as story structure, structural complexity, and internal state terms, followed by comprehension assessment. It was hypothesized that children with ASD would have weaker performances on both measures. However, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups at the macrostructure level. On the contrary, at the level of comprehension, the second hypothesis was confirmed. A statistically significant moderate effect difference was found, favouring typically developing children. Qualitative analysis of narratives from children with ASD highlighted specific production and comprehension characteristics aligning with their diagnostic criteria. Although the first hypothesis was not confirmed, likely due to study limitations, a detailed analysis underscores valuable information essential for understanding their internal world and individual experiences.
