Definition (free text, please give PubMed ID)
A type of language impairment in which incorrect pronouns are used; i.e., using ‘I’ for ‘you’ and/or ‘you’ for ‘I’ (e.g., a child saying ‘You want some more milk’ meaning ‘I want some more milk’). Reversal errors involve the person component, such that ‘I’ and ‘you’ become confused.

Comment
These errors are attested in normal toddlers’ spontaneous speech, albeit at varying rates; pronouns typically emerge around 1.5 years of age and reversals are most common before 2.5 years. A higher rate of pronoun reversal may be expected of people with autism spectrum disorder.
