Abstract
A powerful application of conversation analysis (CA) is to re-examine features of verbal communication diagnostically associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (e.g., apparent problems with conversation, echolalia, idiosyncratic language). In this data-driven tutorial chapter, Muskett draws on his experiences as an academic psychologist and clinical speech and language therapist to lead the reader through the following questions. First, how do we undertake CA with ASD data, and with what methodological assumptions? Second, what are the broad theoretical implications of the kinds of findings that are generated when CA is used in this way? And finally, how might these findings be applied to underpin real-world practice across a range of clinical, educational, and social care contexts?
