Material implicatures are those in which the inferential relationship from what is said to the implicature can be reconstructed without recourse to descriptions of the speaker's behaviour and the reasons underlying it, while behavioural implicatures do require such descriptions. We hypothesised that autistic participants would perform on a par with neurotypical participants in the material cases, but less well than neurotypicals in the behavioural cases, given that the latter make greater demands on theory of mind. In fact, we found that autistic participants’ performance mirrored that of neurotypicals in both conditions. We note a general tendency in the literature for autistic individuals to perform well on tests of comprehending implicit communication, in contrast to attested and self-reported difficulties in this area. We speculate that this mismatch might be explained in terms of a difference in underlying competence and the performance demands of real-world interactions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49175,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communication Disorders","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 106509"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Child-friendly semi-structured interviews were conducted to investigate their perceptions of speech and language therapy. Data derived from these interviews were analysed using an descriptive thematic content analysis. Trustworthiness of the data was achieved by applying researcher triangulation and use of narrative autobiographies.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>During the analyses, six major teams were identified: (1) mixed emotions towards therapy, (2) challenges and difficulties in therapy, (3) impact of therapy context and timing, (4) social reactions and peer awareness, (5) engagement through play, and (6) learning and therapy goals. Each theme was divided into different subthemes. The theme ‘mixed emotions towards therapy’ was divided into the subthemes positive feelings, mixed feelings, and shame and embarrassment. Confronting difficulties and task focus were the subthemes of the major theme ‘challenges and difficulties in therapy’. The theme ‘impact of therapy context and timing’ consisted of two subthemes, namely after-school therapy and in-school therapy.

The timing of therapy sessions, whether during or outside school hours, influenced engagement, as did the use of games and rewards.
