My hot(!) take on this @journalautism paper by @kathryn_mcnaugh @eredcay et al: Synchrony differences btw AUT-NT and NT-NT pairs emerge (and matter for future #social #interactions when social normative demands are higher, not so much in daily conversations. This is bc… 1/3

@DrLSIao talked about why we think there may be "differences" in social communication between #autistic & non-autisitc people and invited stakeholders to work together to support communication between autistic & non-autisitc people. We look forward to collaborating with you! 😊

[Lai-Sang Iao @DrLSIao]

Language development in young children with Developmental Disabilities is heterogeneous. Delayed trajectories relate to later #autism diagnoses. We're the first to show these in a non-Western sample. Free access 👇
