Abstract
Possibility and characteristics of interpersonal compensation for pragmatic impairments seen in children with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism was investigated by conducting videotape analysis on conversational breakdowns reported by adults. Results revealed that various types of pragmatic impairment triggered communicative breakdowns. Adults were likely to compensate for pragmatic impairment; however, the rate of adults' skipping breakdowns and moving on was different between the initial and second-round analyses. The number of compensation strategy types adopted was relatively small compared to that of pragmatic impairment, and the rate of successful compensation seemed to be influenced by whether the adult experienced videotape analyses once or twice. The results of skipping-moving on and the rate of success in compensation suggest repeating videotape analysis might have some significance for clinical practice.
