高功能自闭症（HFA）患者的认知风格是将局部细节优先于整体或完形细节。虽然不是自闭症的核心症状，但患有HFA的个体似乎可靠地显示出这种偏见。我们的实验室一直在研究一个已经克服了早期ASD诊断的儿童样本，显示出“最佳结果”（OO）。本研究的特点是性能OO，HFA，和典型的发展（TD）青少年，因为他们描述的认知负荷下的绘画。在绘画描述的细节焦点的分析表明，HFA组显示出显着更多的本地重点比OO和TD组，而OO和TD组没有差异。我们讨论的细节集中的自闭症诊断的中心性的影响。
Individuals with high-functioning autism (HFA) have a cognitive style that privileges local over global or gestalt details. While not a core symptom of autism, individuals with HFA seem to reliably show this bias. Our lab has been studying a sample of children who have overcome their early ASD diagnoses, showing "optimal outcomes" (OO). This study characterizes performance by OO, HFA, and typically developing (TD) adolescents as they describe paintings under cognitive load. Analyses of detail focus in painting descriptions indicated that the HFA group displayed significantly more local focus than both OO and TD groups, while the OO and TD groups did not differ. We discuss implications for the centrality of detail focus to the autism diagnosis.
