This is finding 3) That feelings of rapport between people of the same neurotype accompany these information-sharing benefits - autistic people have higher rapport with other autistic people, and non-autistic people have higher rapport with non-autistic people.

Our MSc student, Becca Stewart is video coding some of the diffusion chain videos to look at other markers of rapport between the different groups. Results coming in Autumn 2019!pic.twitter.com/98nd9J3UGZ

We're exploring the other diffusion chain tasks a bit differently:doing a followup study to find out if when people are with others of the same neurotype they create things that are more similar than when autistic & non-autistic people work together. Here's some info about why

We wanted to find out more about what it's like for autistic people spending time with autistic and non-autistic people - both during and afterward - and so some autistic participants did a 1:1 interview to help us explore this. We're still analysing, initial findings below

(I'll be talking about this at the
@AutisticaUK conference in June if you're there! My talk is called '“I never realised everybody felt as happy as I do when I am around autistic people”: autistic adults’ relationships with autistic and neurotypical friends and family.')3 replies 13 retweets 84 likesShow this thread -
We also wanted to see what (autistic and neurotypical) participants thought about when they watched videos of pairs of autistic people, pairs of neurotypical people, and pairs where one person is autistic/the other is nonautistic, having a short chat about their day to day life.

On the whole, participants (who didnt know the dignosis of the people in the pairs) thought that autistic pairs had high rapport - that they got on well with each other and seemed comfortable - more so than pairs of non-autistic people, or mixed pairs.pic.twitter.com/3Kvb35bfWP

This is our fourth finding: External observers can detect the lack of rapport apparent in mixed autistic/non-autistic interactions. (We're collecting more data on this in collaboration with the brilliant
@axbey so we can explore the impact of the diagnosis of the rater)1 reply 7 retweets 52 likesShow this thread -
In summary, we found autistic people's social behaviour includes effective communication & effective social interaction. We have, for the first time, uncovered empirical evidence that there is a form of social intelligence specific to autistic people.pic.twitter.com/Eq2Ct6wHkF

Myk's the friend of the world as we know it @mykolaHey, how's this for autism 'awareness' month: some percentage of you who are reading this tweet are#actuallyAutistic and aren't aware of it. I'm going to post a bunch of questions I wish I had been asked in this context, years ago. This is not diagnosis! But it's instructive.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes

answers - enjoy time alone, a bit noise sensitive, puns double meanings & pointing out ambiguities, defs trouble communicating complex concepts, I enjoy long baths in pitch dark, would retreat to blackness & reptitive instrumental music when the feels were especially heavy.
