Komunikacja zdalna z osobami ze spektrum autyzmu – wyzwania i strategie

Dialogue is the most basic form of communication. Nowadays, the internet offers many possibilities, and relationships can be built not only through direct contact but also indirectly through synchronous message exchange. This monograph provides a detailed analysis of the dialogic behaviors of individuals with Asperger syndrome in conversations that took place on several levels. The first involved remote text messaging, while the second took place via video call. Both conversations took place indirectly via the Messenger app and were synchronous in nature, meaning that information was exchanged in real time. The third conversation was a face-to-face interaction, which took place individually with the participant in the speech therapy office. All conversations were unified in terms of topic and, where appropriate, supplemented with specific questions intended to maintain the dialogue. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the communication skills and linguistic behaviors demonstrated by individuals with Asperger syndrome in direct and indirect communication. Nonverbal behaviors, such as movement stereotypes, eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures, were also analyzed. The collected data can be used to deepen our understanding of the functioning and communication of individuals diagnosed with Asperger syndrome remotely via the Internet.
