Abstract

The focus of the project is on the communication of minimally and non-speaking autistic young people aged 12 - 25. Drawing on previous scholarship, we are interested in how the communication of autistic young people intersects with issues of change, agency and intense interests (the latter being a key autistic characteristic).
