Study sheds light on how autistic people communicate

  • A 2025 University of Edinburgh study found that autistic and non-autistic people communicate with similar effectiveness despite different styles.
  • The study responds to past assumptions that autism causes social impairments by revealing communication differences rather than deficits.
  • Researchers tested conversations among 311 participants, showing autistic individuals prefer autistic partners and non-autistics prefer theirs.
  • Dr. Catherine Crompton said the research shows autistic communication is just as successful and challenges the need to 'fix' it.
  • The findings suggest increased understanding can reduce stigma and improve inclusive communication support for autistic people.
