Abstract
The article discusses the influence of the bilingual environment on the psycho-speech development of children with ASD. It also addresses the inclusion of these children into a bilingual environment to enhance their communication and speech skills. The research conducted within the article shows that children with ASD raised in a bilingual environment demonstrate a "bilingual advantage," which manifests in improved executive functions of brain activity.
