摘要
Problems with joint attention are an early manifestation of autism. Young boys with and without autism were observed communicating with their mothers in contexts that afforded commenting, requesting, and interacting. Mothers of autistic sons made as many attention-regulating bids as mothers of typically developing sons, and these bids did not differ significantly in duration. However, fewer occurred in commenting contexts, and they were less likely to rely on purely conventional means. Their sons accepted fewer bids, and they more often appeared unaware of a bid. These findings are discussed using a transactional view of communicative problems in autism in which a child's difficulty regulating shared attention prompts adults to augment conventional communication with literal, object-focused acts.
