This study examines social dynamics in elementary classrooms using experimental game theory and social network analysis. Across 26 classrooms and 625 students, the analysis shows that autistic children and children with special educational needs are less central and less involved in reciprocal peer relationships than students without special educational needs, highlighting the importance of evidence-based approaches to social inclusion.
