This book introduces a novel approach for examining language and
communication in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) - discourse and
conversation analysis. The authors offer a set of very different
perspectives on these complex issues than are typically presented

scientific fields, discourse and conversation analysis involve
fine-grained qualitative analysis of naturally-occurring, rather
than laboratory-based, interaction, enabling broad
applications.
