Grandin. They are an inability to develop relationship IDR, non-communicative use of spoken language NC, delayed echolalia DE, pronominal reversal PR,
repetitive and stereotyped play RSP, maintenance of sameness MS, and good rote memory GRM. The result of the research shows that IDR occurs more often
than other features. It is shown when Temple Grandin interacts with other people. She has an inability to make friends. However, she has a remarkable ability of
memorising.
B. Suggestions
The researcher proposes some suggestions as in the following: 1.
Linguistics Students This research can be one of the references for students who are majoring in
linguistics to bring psycholinguistics approach for their final research. The field of psycholinguistics has many topics that are interesting to be investigated. Besides
autism, there are still many other abnormalities categorised as language disorders. Deeper explanations of the language disorders can give a better understanding
about language phenomena. 2.
Other Researchers This research is still far from perfection. The research still has many
weaknesses. It is still limited on the kinds of responses given by individual with autism and the features of autistic person. It is expected that this research can
become inspiration to other researchers who are interested in psycholinguistics to
conduct more research on autism phenomena using other theories and objects such as non-verbal behaviour of an autistic person.
3. Readers
This study gives information and knowledge about the kinds of responses given by individual with autism and the features of autistic person. It is expected
that the readers can learn more about autism spectrum disorder. When the readers recognise this disorder early, they can help autistic people to overcome their
problems.
