abstract = {BackgroundOne of the main diagnostic features of
individuals with autism spectrum disorders is nonverbal
behaviour difficulties during naturalistic social
interactions. The ‘Interactional Heterogeneity
Hypothesis’ of ASD proposes that the degree to which
individuals share a common ground substantially influences
their ability to achieve smooth social
interactions.MethodsTo test this hypothesis, we filmed 29
autistic and 29 matched typically developed adults engaged
in several conversational tasks. Windowed cross-lagged
correlations were computed using the time series of motion
energy of both individuals in a dyad. These coefficients
were then compared across the three dyad types that were
homo- or heterogenous with respect to diagnosis: pairs of
two autistic individuals, two typically developed
individuals or pairs of one autistic and one typically
developed person.ResultsWe found that all dyad types
achieved above-chance interpersonal synchrony, but that
synchrony was more expressed in typical dyads compared to
both autistic and mixed dyads.LimitationsThe method
presented here provides only one, albeit objective and
robust, approach to explore synchrony. The methodological
choices as well as the lack of consideration for other
communication modalities may limit our interpretation of the
findings. Moreover, the sample size is small with respect to
exploring associations between synchrony and various outcome
and social skill measures.ConclusionsThe present results do
not provide support for the Interactional Heterogeneity
Hypothesis given that autistic individuals do not coordinate
better when interacting with another autistic individual,
compared to when interacting with a typical individual.},
