Abstract

This article aims to explore how some silent embodied interactional actions are constructed to contribute to the descriptions of interactions with people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). We transcribed and described four sequences in which verbal questions are addressed to a child with ASD and answered by embodied non-verbal actions. We identified some ways in which the participants accomplish, monitor, and manage the multiple and complex temporalities of an interaction that involve actions of a) projections, b) sequentially, and c) intelligibility of turns’ construction units. This analysis contributes to the improvement of qualitative methods for the description of the interactional dynamics of atypical interactions.
