This study used a quantitative method with an observational design and a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through observation and analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical tests with the help of SPSS 21.0. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between language skills and social communication skills of children with ASD, with a significance value of ρ of 0.00 (ρ <0.050) and a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.740.
