Reduced accuracy and sensitivity in the perception of emotional facial expressions in individuals with high autism spectrum traits.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is among other things characterized by specific impairments in emotion processing. It is not clear, however, to what extent the typical decline in affective functioning is related to the specific autistic traits. We employed The Autism Spectrum-Quotient (AQ) to quantify autistic traits in a group of 500 healthy individuals and investigate whether we could detect s...
متن کاملThe Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ)--adolescent version.
The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) quantifies autistic traits in adults. This paper adapted the AQ for children (age 9.8-15.4 years). Three groups of participants were assessed: Group 1: n=52 adolescents with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or high-functioning autism (HFA); Group 2: n=79 adolescents with classic autism; and Group 3, n=50 controls.

It is also possible, however, that at least some of the difficulty is due to a failure of NT individuals to read the mental and emotiona...
متن کاملRules versus prototype matching: strategies of perception of emotional facial expressions in the autism spectrum.
When perceiving emotional facial expressions, people with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) appear to focus on individual facial features rather than configurations. This paper tests whether individuals with ASD use these features in a rule-based strategy of emotional perception, rather than a typical, template-based strategy by considering outcome implications of these strategies. Rule-based s...
