自闭症患者的面部处理困难要么是独特的社交障碍，要么是由于零星的认知“风格”。自闭症中社会缺陷和零碎认知的共同发病率使得梳理这些描述变得困难。这些特征通常是不同的，在普通人群中更容易分离，这表明了另一种比较账户的方式。参与者完成了自闭症特征的自闭症智商调查，以及三种面孔识别测试之一：全脸、只看眼睛或只看嘴巴。社交特征预测了男女在面部丰满状态下的表现。只有眼睛的男性的表现是通过社交×认知特征交互作用来预测的：对细节的关注促进了几乎没有社交特征的男性的面孔识别，但阻碍了那些表现出许多社交特征的男性的表现。这表明社交/非社交自闭症谱系条件(ASC)特质在行为水平上的交互作用。在社交互惠中几乎没有类似ASC的困难，对细节的ASC式关注可能会为典型男性的面部识别技能带来优势。另一方面，当对细节的关注与社会互惠的困难同时出现时，对细节的关注可能会加剧这种已经存在的社会困难，就像自闭症所发生的那样。
Autistic face processing difficulties are either uniquely social or due to a piecemeal cognitive “style.” Co-morbidity of social deficits and piecemeal cognition in autism makes teasing apart these accounts difficult. These traits vary normally, and are more separable in the general population, suggesting another way to compare accounts. Participants completed the Autism Quotient survey of autistic traits, and one of three face recognition tests: full-face, eyes-only, or mouth-only. Social traits predicted performance in the full-face condition in both sexes. Eyes-only males' performance was predicted by a social × cognitive trait interaction: attention to detail boosted face recognition in males with few social traits, but hindered performance in those reporting many social traits. This suggests social/non-social Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) trait interactions at the behavioral level. In the presence of few ASC-like difficulties in social reciprocity, an ASC-like attention to detail may confer advantages on typical males' face recognition skills. On the other hand, when attention to detail co-occurs with difficulties in social reciprocity, a detailed focus may exacerbate such already present social difficulties, as is thought to occur in autism.
