Abstract

The coronavirus pandemic has changed some of the ways we communicate, with virtual interactions replacing many of our face-to-face conversations. While online communication has been a challenge for many, autistic people encountered barriers in communication before the pandemic. At Queen Mary University of London, linguists Professor Nelya Koteyko and Dr Martine van Driel are investigating how autistic people interact with and through social media, and how changes in the design of digital platforms might benefit autistic users.
