abstract = {The organisation of who speaks when in conversation is
perhaps the most fundamental aspect of human communication.
Research on a wide variety of groups of speakers has
revealed a seemingly universal preference for
between-speaker transitions consisting of very short silent
gaps. Previous research on conversational turn-taking in
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) consists of only a handful of
studies, most of which are limited in scope and based on the
non-spontaneous speech of children and adolescents. No
previous studies have investigated dialogues between
autistic adults. We analysed the conversational turn-taking
behaviour of 28 adult native German speakers in two groups
of dyads, in which both interlocutors either did or did not
have a diagnosis of ASD. We found no clear difference in
turn-timing between the ASD and the control group overall,
with both groups showing the same preference for very short
silent-gap transitions that has been described for many
other groups of speakers in the past. We did, however, find
a clear difference between groups specifically in the
earliest stages of dialogue, where ASD dyads produced
considerably longer silent gaps than controls. We discuss
our findings in the context of the previous literature, the
implications of diverging behaviour specifically in the
early stages of conversation, and the general importance of
studying the neglected aspect of interactions between
autistic adults.},
