PHILADELPHIA, March 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In successful conversations, people tend to adjust their language and talkativeness to reflect the behavior of the person they are speaking with. However, these nuances of social communication can be difficult for individuals with autism. In a new study, researchers from the Center for Autism Research (CAR) at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that children and teens with autism did not adjust their own level of talkativeness to reflect quieter social partners as much as neurotypical peers did, which may lead to less successful social interactions. The findings were recently published in the journal Autism Research.

Key Points: 
  • Someone might become less talkative when conversing with a social partner who is quiet and become more talkative with a chattier partner.
  • Prior research suggests that people with autism struggle to adapt their behavior across social contexts, which can contribute to suboptimal social outcomes.
  • "By focusing on word count, we could objectively measure whether autistic and neurotypical peers adapted their behavior to fit their conversation partners."
