Join Charlotte and Pauline for a fun testing session in our brand new LabMobile 🚐🛣.Traveling to the university for research can be very costly for families and autistic individuals, so we thought we could bring the lab to their door 😁

Narrative analyses also suggest group differences but no sex differences, with autistic adolescents producing less coherent narratives than non-autistic adolescents. Taken together, this study suggests that pragmatic abilities measured with narratives align with parental reports.

Parental reports (CCC-2) did not show any sex differences, only group differences, suggesting that parents reported more pragmatic difficulties in autistic adolescents (regardless of sex) than in non-autistic adolescents.

And last but definitely not least, @BelengerMarie is presenting a poster at DevCom Oslo ! She is presenting one of her PhD studies in which she investigated sex differences in autism by comparing parental reports vs. narrative productions of autistic and non-autistic adolescents.

Her results suggest that NIB autistic children have enhance perception and processing of linguistic statistical regularities (non-adjacent dependencies), compared to their autistic non-NIB and non-autistic peers which might indicate a different path of language acquisition.
