Study sheds light on how autistic people communicate

  • Researchers at the University of Edinburgh published a 2025 study assessing communication effectiveness between autistic and non-autistic people.
  • The study responded to longstanding assumptions that autism causes social impairments and communication deficits, which some experts now challenge.
  • The research involved 311 participants and found no significant difference in communication success within autistic, non-autistic, or mixed groups.
  • Dr. Catherine Crompton emphasized that although autistic and non-autistic individuals interact in distinct ways, their communication is equally effective, underscoring differences rather than deficits.
  • These findings suggest that understanding autistic communication as a difference rather than a disability could promote inclusivity and reduce stigma.
