Résumé

Les personnes autistes socialisent et communiquent différemment des personnes non autistes. Cependant, les descriptions définitives de ce à quoi pourrait ressembler ce style de communication sociale, dans une perspective autiste, ont jusqu’à présent été limitées. Cette recherche qualitative a exploré les récits de personnes autistes concernant leurs propres comportements de communication sociale et leurs expériences d’interactions en face à face, afin de mieux comprendre le style de communication sociale autiste. Neuf adultes autistes (4 femmes, 1 personne non binaire, 4 hommes ; âgés de 23 à 70 ans) ont participé à un groupe de discussion en ligne de type forum pendant deux semaines, en prenant part à des discussions sur la manière dont ils signalaient le (dés)intérêt et le (non-)plaisir au cours des conversations ; sur leurs comportements naturels de communication sociale ; sur ce qu’était le fait de parler avec des personnes autistes, par comparaison avec des personnes non autistes ; et sur toute autre chose qu’ils pensaient que les chercheurs devraient savoir. À partir de cela, cinq thèmes ont été élaborés : les expériences autistes de soi, de l’attention et de l’environnement ; les attentes autistes quant à la manière dont les interactions sociales devraient fonctionner ; les conflits entre les attentes autistes et les attentes normatives neurotypiques ; l’effort constant de compensation et de masquage ; et le fait de trouver et de créer des compréhensions partagées entre neurotypes. Nos résultats mettent en évidence l’interaction complexe entre les différences/difficultés autistes et l’environnement social des personnes autistes, et soulignent le rôle que jouent les environnements normatifs neurotypiques dans la construction de l’autisme comme handicap de la communication sociale.

Autistic people socialise and communicate differently to non-autistic people. However, definitive accounts of what this social communicative style might look like, from an autistic perspective, have so far been limited. This qualitative research explored autistic people’s accounts of their own social communication behaviour and experiences of face-to-face interactions, to better understand the autistic social communicative style. Nine autistic adults (4 women, 1 nonbinary, 4 men; aged 23-70) took part in an online, forum-style focus group over the course of two weeks, participating in discussions about how they signalled (dis)interest and (un)enjoyment during conversations; what their natural social communication behaviours were; what talking to autistic people was like, compared to non-autistic people; and anything else they thought researchers should know. From this, five themes were developed: autistic experiences of self, attention, and environment; autistic expectations about how social interactions should work; conflicts between autistic and neurotypical-normative expectations; the constant effort of compensation and masking; and finding and creating shared understandings across neurotypes. Our findings highlight the complex interplay of autistic differences/difficulties with autistic people’s social environment, and emphasise the role that neurotypical-normative environments play in constructing autism as a social communication disability.
