Simon Wehrle; Martine Grice; Kai Vogeley – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
We examined the use of filled pauses in conversations between homogeneous pairs of autistic and non-autistic adults. A corpus of semi-spontaneous speech was used to analyse the rate, lexical type (nasal "uhm" or non-nasal "uh"), and prosodic realisation (rising, level or falling) of filled pauses. We used Bayesian modelling for…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by challenges in social competence that persist in adulthood, yet few treatment options exist. A pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) of a peer-mediated, theatre-based intervention with established efficacy in youth with ASD was examined in autistic adults. The final sample consisted of forty-seven…

Predicting Social Competence in Autistic and Non-Autistic Children: Effects of Prosody and the Amount of Speech Input
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Alyssa Janes; Elise McClay; Mandeep Gurm; Troy Q. Boucher; H. Henny Yeung; Grace Iarocci; Nichole E. Scheerer – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: Autistic individuals often face challenges perceiving and expressing emotions, potentially stemming from differences in speech prosody. Here we explore how autism diagnoses between groups, and measures of social competence within groups may be related to, first, children's speech characteristics (both prosodic features and amount of…

Zhao, Zhong; Tang, Haiming; Zhang, Xiaobin; Zhu, Zhipeng; Xing, Jiayi; Li, Wenzhou; Tao, Da; Qu, Xingda; Lu, Jianping – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Few eye tracking studies have examined how people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) visually attend during live interpersonal interaction, and none with the Chinese population. This study used an eye tracker to record the gaze behavior in 20 Chinese children with ASD and 23 children with typical development (TD) when they were engaged in a…

Maryellen Brunson McClain; Megan E. Golson; Cassity R. Haverkamp; Bryn Harris; Erica Ficklin; Sarah E. Schwartz; Camille J. Wynn – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Social communication and interaction (SC/I) skill quality may be influenced by cultural values, norms, and expectations. Because difficulties in SC/I is a core criterion for identifying autism and is a frequent construct of interest in autism research, a measure designed to capture cross-cultural differences in the perspectives of SC/I skills is…
