I’m doing a linguistic ethnography for my final paper in one of my classes this semester.
I’m going to be comparing autistic people’s speech when they’re talking to other autistic people, versus when they are talking to non-autistic people.

In order to accomplish this, I need autistic people who are 18 or older to email me recordings.
You should to collect two different recordings:
One of a conversation with another autistic person(s), and one with a non-autistic person(s).
You should to collect two different recordings:
One of a conversation with another autistic person(s), and one with a non-autistic person(s).
You can stop each recording after 5 minutes. The recordings don’t need to be about any specific topic, and you don’t need to censor yourself (cursing is fine, etc.)
These should be natural conversations where you talk to the other person/people the way you normally would.

Ideally, these people would be friends or acquaintances around your age.
You should obtain consent and let everyone know that you’re recording before you start.
At the beginning of both recordings, please have everyone involved state that they know they’re being recorded.

When you are finished (the recordings can be anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes), please email them to [email protected] along with a transcript of the conversation if you’re able to provide one.
I need these recordings by this Sunday night (May 9th) at 11:59 pm.

This project is very important to get right, and very important to have enough data for, so I really hope that you decide to participate if you can!
I’ll be Tweeting out reminders over the next few days for people in case you forget.
Thanks for your help!

The goal here is to see what qualitative differences in communication (if any) are present when autistic people communicate with each other, vs. when we communicate with allistic/non-autistic people.
I think what I find will be important. So if you want to help out please do!

Also- if you plan on participating let me know so that I have a rough idea of how many people will be included in the project and I can make any necessary adjustments based on that.
Let me know if you plan on participating here:
