Exploring Online Communication in Self-Identified Autistic Adolescents

CONCLUSIONS: Autistic girls and boys demonstrate largely consistent gender differences in their language use across in-person and online communication contexts. Interestingly, most of the significant gender differences previously reported in neurotypical communicators were not seen in this sample of autistic adolescents, suggesting that perhaps autistic individuals may linguistically express gender characteristics to a different extent or in a different manner than neurotypical individuals.PMID:38478749 | DOI:10.1044/2024_JSLHR-23-00707
