Overview

Social communication is the use of verbal and non-verbal signals to share information, intentions and emotions and to manage interpersonal relationships within a social context. It integrates language form and content with pragmatic competence, the ability to use language appropriately to the situation, encompassing turn-taking, topic maintenance, perspective-taking, interpretation of tone, facial expression, gesture and other paralinguistic cues. In developmental and clinical science, social communication is a core domain affected in neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, where difficulties in social reciprocity, joint attention and pragmatic language are central diagnostic features, and it can also be disrupted in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, acquired cognitive impairment and mood disorders. Effective social communication underpins education, healthcare, collaboration and psychological wellbeing, and its assessment informs targeted behavioural, cognitive and assistive-technology interventions. The peer-reviewed research associated with this topic engages neighbouring themes, including the neuroscience and physiopathology of autism spectrum disorder, neurofeedback and mindful-routine approaches in autism and ADHD, assistive technology and cognitive-behavioural programmes for adaptive skills, and the role of social isolation and connectedness in wellbeing, reflecting how social communication and its difficulties are studied across developmental, therapeutic and psychosocial contexts.
