This research aims to examine sex differences in pragmatic language among autistic individuals, utilizing both hand coding and computational methods.
Examined pragmatic language through hand coding and computational linguistic methodologies.
Analyzed data from narrative and semi-structured conversational tasks in autistics.
Investigated overlap between computational methods and traditional hand-coded findings.
Autistic males showed the most significant pragmatic language differences compared to non-autistic groups.
Differences between diagnostic groups were especially notable during semi-structured conversations.
Computational methods aligned best with hand-coded outcomes in domains with clear theoretical connections.
