Partner Perceptions of Conversations with Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Sng, Cheong Ying; Carter, Mark; Stephenson, Jennifer; Sweller, Naomi
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v50 n4 p1182-1197 Apr 2020
Pragmatic difficulties resulting in problems with reciprocal conversation are widely studied in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is some consensus on the conversation differences between individuals with autism compared to neurotypical groups and groups with other developmental delays. There is little information on whether conversation partners (neurotypical or with ASD) of individuals with ASD find these differences problematic. The results indicate that behaviors reported to be the most problematic were not necessarily behaviors commonly addressed in research. Further, some conversational capacities that have received less research focus were perceived as more problematic. Although conversation partners who had ASD themselves reported the frequency of behaviors similarly to the neurotypical group, they did not find the behaviors as problematic.
