BACKGROUND: Few quantitative studies have been conducted on the relationship between society and its languages. Individuals with @entity2438 ( @entity2438 ) are known to experience social hardships, and a wide range of clinical information about their quality of life has been provided through numerous narrative analyses. However, the narratives of @entity2438 @entity1 have thus far been examined mainly through qualitative approaches. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we analyzed adults with @entity2438 to quantitatively examine the relationship between language abilities and @entity2438 severity scores. METHODS: We generated phonetic transcriptions of speeches by 16 @entity2438 adults at an @entity2438 workshop, and divided the @entity1 into 2 groups according to their Social Responsiveness ScaleTM, 2nd Edition (SRSTM-2) scores (where higher scores represent more severe @entity2438 ): Group A comprised high-scoring @entity2438 adults (SRSTM-2 score: >=    76) and Group B comprised low- and intermediate-scoring @entity2438 adults (SRSTM-2 score: <   76). Using natural language processing (NLP)-based analytical methods, the narratives were converted into numerical data according to four language ability indicators, and the relationships between the language ability scores and @entity2438 severity scores were compared. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Group A showed a marginally negative correlation with the level of Japanese @entity5545 (p <   .10), while the "social cognition" subscale of the SRSTM-2 score showed a significantly negative correlation (p <   .05) with @entity5545 . When comparing only male @entity1 , Group A demonstrated a significantly lower correlation with @entity5545 level than Group B (p <   .10). CONCLUSION: Social communication was found to be strongly associated with the level of @entity5545 in speech. The clinical applications of these findings may be available in the near future, and there is a need for further detailed study on language metrics designed for @entity2438 adults.
