I love this detail. During a building activity, both the non-autistic groups & the mixed groups had instances where someone didn’t participate, or someone built a separate tower, or they started over after already beginning. None of these things happened in the groups of all autistic participants

New studies on how rapport differs between autistic & non-autistic ppl suggest having other autistic interactants is more important for autistics' ease, enjoyment: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/..., & social-motor synchrony is more important for non-autistics: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This is cool - in groups of 4, autistic people have less rapport as the number of other autistic people declines, while non-autistic people are less affected by group composition Project by @sarah-foster.bsky.social supervised by @noahsasson.bsky.social on a grant led by @cjcrompton.bsky.social

I'm excited to share my first registered report on social interactions in @journalautism.bsky.social! Our study explores how social motor synchrony – the natural mirroring of movements – impacts rapport between autistic, neurotypical, and mixed dyads. Thread 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Social interactions cannot be assessed without (1) acknowledging the two-way process involved and (2) the cultural context the interactions are embedded in. We present new evidence for this, using stimuli like the one below, in our latest preprint: osf.io/xg7y4 🤝

Hi everyone! I'm trying to migrate my posting to these bluer skies. I'm Noah Sasson. I mostly post about autism and psychology, but sometimes veer into posting about some of my hobbies too (basketball, gaming, and music). Hoping the vibes here are a little less end-timesy.

"Awkward but so what" may be the Best Autism Research Paper Intro Ever: "Autistic people, like non-autistic people, have preferences for similarity that drive social affiliation, and indicate that certain social descriptors like 'awkwardness' may not be universally viewed negatively by all people."

Parker Posey once ran towards me in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia. I couldn’t understand what was happening and completely mesmerized. Was this a dream? But then she just bent down and pet my dog, all the while completely ignoring me. She skipped away and did a cartwheel.
