Associations between social anxiety, physiological reactivity, and speech disfluencies in autistic young adults and controls
CONCLUSIONS: SA or speaking-related physiological reactivity were not associated with disfluency frequencies or stuttering severity in autistic persons. Negative association between physiological reactivity and disfluency frequencies found in the control group may indicate that the physiological arousal may impact the speech production process by reducing the overt disfluencies.PMID:38593561 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2024.106425
