Abstract in brief

  • Recent research suggests that differences in neurotypes, rather than autism alone, affect the ability to share information effectively between individuals.
  • A study using the diffusion chain method found no significant difference in information transfer between single-neurotype and mixed-neurotype groups, but nonautistic groups reported higher levels of rapport.
  • Informing participants about each other's diagnostic statuses improved rapport, challenging previous assumptions about communication deficits in autistic individuals and indicating that study design may influence outcomes.
