Abstract

Lay abstract: During a conversation, on average, autistic individuals are often more likely than non-autistic people to provide an off-topic comment and/or to pause for longer before providing a response. One possible explanation for this is that autistic individuals prefer, or are more tolerant of, unconventional communication styles. To explore this possibility, we investigated whether autistic and non-autistic 9-13-year-olds find off-topic or delayed responding a deterrent to friendship or interaction. Participants listened to scripted conversations and then rated social desirability statements, such as 'I would enjoy chatting to the [target speaker]'. We also examined the prevalence of these behaviours in children's own conversational responses. We found that autistic children were just as likely as non-autistic children to dis-prefer unconventional conversational responding. Both groups indicated that they were less likely to want to be friends with the speaker, or to chat with them, when they provided off-topic or delayed responses. However, despite their judgements of others, the same autistic children were more likely to provide off-topic responses themselves than their non-autistic peers, as well as giving fewer on-topic responses which facilitate back-and-forth conversation. Overall, this is problematic for autistic children, as our findings suggest that the tendency to exhibit unconventional conversational behaviours will have negative social consequences, even when interacting with other autistic peers.

从别人身上看到的与自己做的相比:自闭症儿童和非自闭症儿童的社会可取性判断和对话生成数据。
内容提要:平均而言,在交谈过程中,自闭症患者往往比非自闭症患者更有可能发表离题评论和/或停顿更长时间才做出回应。一种可能的解释是,自闭症患者更喜欢或更能容忍非常规的交流方式。为了探索这种可能性,我们调查了 9-13 岁的自闭症和非自闭症儿童是否认为离题或延迟回应会阻碍友谊或互动。受试者聆听脚本对话,然后对 "我会喜欢和[目标发言人]聊天 "等社交可取性陈述进行评分。我们还研究了这些行为在儿童自己的对话反应中的普遍程度。我们发现,自闭症儿童和非自闭症儿童一样不喜欢非常规的对话回应。这两个群体的儿童都表示,当说话者提供离题或延迟的回答时,他们不太愿意与说话者做朋友或聊天。然而,尽管自闭症儿童对他人做出了判断,但与非自闭症儿童相比,他们自己却更倾向于做出离题的回答,同时也更少做出有助于前后对话的主题回答。总体而言,这对自闭症儿童来说是个问题,因为我们的研究结果表明,即使在与其他自闭症同龄人交流时,表现出非常规会话行为的倾向也会带来负面的社交后果。

期刊介绍: Autism is a major, peer-reviewed, international journal, published 8 times a year, publishing research of direct and practical relevance to help improve the quality of life for individuals with autism or autism-related disorders. It is interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on research in many areas, including: intervention; diagnosis; training; education; translational issues related to neuroscience, medical and genetic issues of practical import; psychological processes; evaluation of particular therapies; quality of life; family needs; and epidemiological research. Autism provides a major international forum for peer-reviewed research of direct and practical relevance to improving the quality of life for individuals with autism or autism-related disorders. The journal''s success and popularity reflect the recent worldwide growth in the research and understanding of autistic spectrum disorders, and the consequent impact on the provision of treatment and care.
