Description
Terhi Korkiakangas explores the significance of gaze in everyday interactions, shedding new light on its role in understanding autism. By examining authentic video-recorded social interactions, she reveals how a multimodal interaction perspective can provide valuable insights into gaze and communication. This book considers both mutual gaze and gaze aversion during talk or silence, alongside facial expressions, gestures, and other body movements, to understand what gaze is used for and how it differs in individuals on the autism spectrum. It also draws on research from the blogosphere, highlighting the importance of considering communication differences rather than deficits. Grounded in the interactional tradition of conversation analysis, Communication, Gaze and Autism offers a major contribution to our understanding of autism by examining communication beyond talk and linguistic resources.
