Abstract

Adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may compensate for their social difficulties by resorting to more sequential forms of communication. Here, we study communication preferences in individuals with ASD and neurotypical controls by monitoring smartphone-based communication for verbal, written, and mixed app categories over a period of four months. We find ASD participants to prefer written over verbal communication, underscoring the importance of considering these preferences to facilitate social integration.

患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的成年人可能会通过采用更有顺序的交流形式来弥补他们的社交困难。在此，我们研究了自闭症患者和神经畸形对照组的交流偏好，方法是在四个月的时间里监测基于智能手机的口头、书面和混合应用程序类别的交流。我们发现 ASD 参与者更喜欢书面交流而不是口头交流，这强调了考虑这些偏好对促进社会融合的重要性。
