| Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 特殊教育學系 === 104 === This study aimed at understanding the phenomena of progresses in social interaction of adolescents with mild autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Putting aside the view of deficiency, this study adopted the paradigm of discovery and intended to grasp the phenomena of social interaction of the adolescents with mild ASD as a whole. Four mothers of adolescents with mild ASD accepted the research interview for their long-term observation of their children’s social interaction. The interview transcriptions were then analyzed with a phenomenological method and resulted in a description of the general structure of social interaction of adolescents with mild ASD. The general structure is composed with five themes: embodied rule-sticking behaviors, lacking of feedback loops in communicative interaction, other-depending pragmatic impact in communication, and complying behavior when no conflict with others. In addition to answering the research questions, the research result also provides a theoretical conceptual reflection to the studies on adolescents with mild ASD and a guidance for practitioners to design proper plans for training the adolescents. Last but not least, stemming from this research is also an advocacy to the public: the interaction with people with mild ASD is a process for mutual understanding but not only for proving their being deficient.
