“…Beyond experimental memory paradigms, most autistic people also experience some degree of difficulty in their ability to construct and relate a coherent narrative (Tager-Flusberg, Paul, & Lord, 2005). While generally not differing from language-matched TD individuals on basic aspects of narrative, such as the identification of the main elements of an event (Beaumont & Newcombe, 2006;Capps, Losh, & Thurber, 2000;Hilvert, Davidson, & Gámez, 2016;Hogan-Brown, Losh, Martin, & Mueffelmann, 2013;Losh & Capps, 2003;Tager-Flusberg & Sullivan, 1995), autistic individuals' narratives often lack causation and coherence, particularly with regards to temporality and the causal connection of plot points (e.g., Capps et al, 2000;Diehl, Bennetto, & Young, 2006;Hilvert et al, 2016;King, Dockrell, & Stuart, 2014;Kuijper, Hartman, Bogaerds-Hazenberg, & Hendriks, 2017;Lee et al, 2018;Losh & Capps, 2003;Losh & Gordon, 2014;McCabe, Hillier, & Shapiro, 2013;Tager-Flusberg, 2000). It has been suggested that these narrative difficulties may be explained in part by difficulties in considering the needs and perspectives of the listener (e.g., Baron-Cohen, 1988;Colle, Baron-Cohen, Wheelwright, & van der Lely, 2008;Bruner & Feldman, 1993;Goldman, 2008;Hilvert et al, 2016;Tager-Flusberg, 1995;Tager-Flusberg & Sullivan, 1995) as well as in generating, strategically planning and organizing one's recall of an event (Barnes & Baron-Cohen, 2012).…”
