Abstract：Drawing upon empirical data obtained from oral occurrence of 30 children, this paper attempts to analyze the differences of other-initiated self-repair strategies between Chinese children with high-functioning autism (HFA) and those with typical development (TD) aged 6–7. The findings show that in terms of trouble source, HFA children have produced noticeably more problems of reference and problems of expectation or acceptability than TD children, and the overall repair success rate is lower than that of TD counterparts. In terms of different types of trouble sources produced by children, there are significant differences in the choice of adults’ other-initiated strategies. When it comes to different degrees of adults’ other-initiations, there are significant differences in the choice of children’s self-repair strategies. Based on the findings as stated above, the study suggests that the interlocutors should create a more shared communicational context and take the initiative to identify different types of trouble sources during the conversation with HFA children. Moreover, the interlocutors should employ appropriate initiation strategies to improve HFA children’s conversation repair competence.
