SUMMARY:Observations concerning forensic and clinical encounters invol
 ving children with autism spectrum disorder\, Chaos & Complex Systems 
 Seminar\, Doug Maynard\, UW Department of Sociology
DESCRIPTION:Perceivedly inappropriate social behavior is a central fea
 ture of Autism Spectrum Disorder\, in that individuals with ASD freque
 ntly may violate or breach commonsense norms and expectations. These v
 iolations may meet with polite indifference\, informal prohibitions\, 
 or corrections. Using two forensic cases (police encounters with ASD i
 ndividuals) and one clinical encounter\, I will explore more formal sa
 nctioning and how this can involve something we call “transpositioni
 ng.” Under the auspices of official protocols\, transpositioning ref
 ers to how an official may turn a child’s responsive move into an in
 itiating move\, justifying consequential indifference at best or somet
 imes severe intervention at worst. However\, by situating violations i
 n their interactional contexts\, we can see how actions usually attrib
 uted to the child and his psychological functioning alone are concerte
 dly produced. In group discussion\, I hope to have us consider how we 
 can have better understandings of ASD-associated conduct in home\, sch
 ool\, and public environments.
