• In mainstream autism research:- automatic responses- hindrance to, or disruptive of social interaction- no or minimal communicative function
• The neurodiversity perspective:
- semiotic phenomena- meaningful sensory explorations- forms of self expression
REPETITIVE PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR

• To affirm autisitc neurodiversity, by unpacking one of the most salient features of autism.
• To deconstruct further repetitive repetitive verbal behavior in autism (Local & Wootton, 1995; Wootton, 1999; Sterponi &Shankey, 2014).
• To articulate further the notion of autistic semiosis (Nolan & McBride, 2015).

• Videorecordings of spontaneous interactions of young(3-6 years old) children with autism.
• The videorecorded interactions were transcribed and analyzed according to Discourse Analysis conventions.
• Four video segments are examined.
CORPUS & METHOD
![Page 6: NEURODIVERSITY AND AUTISTIC SEMIOSIS A F R · - hindrance to, or disruptive of social interaction ... EXTRACT 1 AND 2 (Florina, 6-year-old) - Delayed echolalia ... • Repetitive](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041621/5e3ecfc51945e076d5088d73/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
EXTRACT 1 AND 2 (Florina, 6-year-old)
- Delayed echolalia
- Even the most functionally opaque and seemingly autonomicform of echolalia is highly synchronized with surrounding talk
- Echoes are marked metacommunicatively
EXTRACT 3 (Matt, 4;6-year-old)
- Formulaic language strip- Rather than being monological strings uttered all at once by the
autistic child, they are developed conjointly.

EXTRACT 4 (Benjamin, 6-year-old)
- Repetitive speech
- Repetition affords linguistic structures of engagement (DuBois, 2014)- Repetition reveals and enacts the experiential potential of language
as such (Ochs, 2012)

• A close analysis of the composition of autistic utterancesand their position in sequential context has brought to lightthe complexity and interactional significance of autistic repetitive speech.
• Repetitive verbal behavior as a form of autistic semiosiscommunicates and metacommunicates, thereby providingscope for intersubjectivity and interconnectedness.
