Development and validation of the conversation questionnaire: A psychometric measure of communication challenges generated from the self-reports of autistic people / Alexander C. WILSON in Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 7 (January-December 2022)
[article]
Titre : Development and validation of the conversation questionnaire: A psychometric measure of communication challenges generated from the self-reports of autistic people Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alexander C. WILSON, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism social communication conversation pragmatics psychometrics community engagement Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Existing measures of communication challenges in autism are based on diagnostic criteria and research/clinical observations of autistic people, rather than what autistic people themselves identify as difficulties. In this study, the Conversation Questionnaire (CQ) was developed based on community engagement with autistic people to identify what they find challenging about conversation. This new tool was then administered online to autistic, dyslexic and neurotypical people (N=312) in a validation phase of the study. Item-response theory modelling indicated that a two-dimensional structure accounted for response patterns. These dimensions reflected difficulties knowing what to say (15 items) and engaging in behaviours possibly disruptive to neurotypical conversation (21 items). The dimensions showed good internal consistency and convergent and discriminant validity, and could distinguish between autistic and neurotypical people (d=1.59 and d=2.07 respectively). The CQ might help contribute to diagnostic assessment for autism in adults as part of a holistic assessment. The questionnaire might also be useful with other neurodiverse groups, and provide a tool for clinicians and researchers to identify individuals’ strengths and difficulties in conversation (e.g., as part of interventions in speech and language therapy).

Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic people are thought to have difficulty with mentalising (our drive to track and understand the minds of other people). Mentalising is often measured by the Frith-Happé Animations task, where individuals need to interpret the interactions of abstract shapes. This review article collated results from over 3000 people to assess how autistic people performed on the task. Analysis showed that autistic people tended to underperform compared to non-autistic people on the task, although the scale of the difference was moderate rather than large. Also, autistic people showed some difficulty with the non-mentalising as well as mentalising aspects of the task. These results raise questions about the scale and specificity of mentalising difficulties in autism. It also remains unclear how well mentalising difficulties account for the social challenges diagnostic of autism.

Titre : "Second guessing yourself all the time about what they really mean…": Cognitive differences between autistic and non-autistic adults in understanding implied meaning Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alexander C. WILSON, Auteur ; Dorothy V. M. BISHOP, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.93-101 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism communication communication disabilities language pragmatics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated cognitive differences between autistic and non-autistic people in understanding implied meaning in conversation using a novel computerized test, the Implicature Comprehension Test. Controlling for core language ability, autistic participants (N =?66) were over twice as likely to endorse a non-normative interpretation of an implied meaning and over five times as likely to select "do not know" when asked about the presence of an implied meaning, compared to non-autistic participants (N =?118). A further experiment suggested that the selection of "do not know" reflected a cognitive preference for certainty and explicit communication, and that the normative inference could often be made when the test format was more constrained. Our research supports the hypothesis that autistic individuals can find it challenging to process language in its pragmatic context, and that cognitive preferences play a role in this. LAY SUMMARY: We investigated differences between autistic and non-autistic people in understanding implied meanings in conversation. We found that autistic people were more likely to select a different interpretation of implied meanings compared to other people, and also much more likely to avoid processing implied meanings when the task allowed this. Our research supports the view that autistic people can find it challenging to process indirect meanings, and that they tend to prefer explicit forms of communication.
