ABSTRACT	Abstract. Autistic children have severe difficulties in social interactions and communication. The majority of studies conducted so far with these children are designed to identify what is missing in their behaviour or in their cognitive abilities that could explain their social impairment. However, relatively little research has been made analysing the actual interpersonal functioning existing with familiar partners in everyday life using methods adjusted to catch the idiosyncratic repertoires and temporal structures of specific dyads in specific contexts. Autistic children are not only very different from one another, but often fail to display, in the appropriate circumstances, social skills they may have already developed. Taking into account the high inter-individual and intraindividual heterogeneity of autistic children’s social functioning and social understanding is a key in testing theoretical models linking their communication problems with circumscribed cognitive deficits. In this chapter we first consider some limits of the existing methods used to study social functioning and understanding in autistic children, and we offer work we are conducting in our research team at Paris 5 University. We will illustrate the contribution of THEME analysis to our comparative studies on the development of communication and theory of mind in normal and autistic children. We conclude by showing the interest of the data obtained with this method for the interpretation of cognitive and social processes involved in the particular modes of interaction occurring between autistic children and their social partners.
