社会认知、社会技能和社会动机已被广泛研究，并被定性为自闭症患者的非典型特征，假设每一个都机械地导致了更广泛的社会互动困难，这些困难在诊断上定义了自闭症。尽管有这样的假设，但研究并没有直接评估这三个社会领域是否或如何影响自闭症患者实际的社会互动结果。目前的研究对67名自闭症成年人和58名非自闭症成年人（NA）进行了社会认知、社会技能和社会动机的标准化测量，并评估了这些测量的表现，无论是单独的还是二元伴侣之间的关系，是否预测了自闭症成年人和NA成年人在5分钟的非结构化“了解你”对话中与不熟悉的自闭症和NA伴侣互动的结果。与之前的研究一致，自闭症成年人在这三个社交领域的得分低于正常人，他们的谈话对象对他们的评价也不那么好。然而，自闭症成年人在这三个社会领域的表现与他们的社会互动结果之间的联系是最小的，与预测相反，只有NA成年人的社会能力预测了混合诊断双元组中的一些互动结果。总的来说，研究结果表明，自闭症成年人在社会认知、社会技能和社会动机的标准化测试中的表现下降，与他们在现实世界中的社会互动结果并没有明确和可预测的对应关系。他们还强调，在评估自闭症的社会残疾时，需要发展和验证更多的自闭症社会能力生态评估，并考虑关系动态，而不仅仅是个体特征。
Social cognition, social skill, and social motivation have been extensively researched and characterized as atypical in autistic people, with the assumption that each mechanistically contributes to the broader social interaction difficulties that diagnostically define the condition. Despite this assumption, research has not directly assessed whether or how these three social domains contribute to actual real-world social interaction outcomes for autistic people. The current study administered standardized measures of social cognition, social skill, and social motivation to 67 autistic and 58 non-autistic (NA) adults and assessed whether performance on these measures, both individually and relationally between dyadic partners, predicted outcomes for autistic and NA adults interacting with unfamiliar autistic and NA partners in a 5 minute unstructured “get to know you” conversation. Consistent with previous research, autistic adults scored lower than NA adults on the three social domains and were evaluated less favorably by their conversation partners. However, links between autistic adults' performance on the three social domains and their social interaction outcomes were minimal and, contrary to prediction, only the social abilities of NA adults predicted some interaction outcomes within mixed diagnostic dyads. Collectively, results suggest that reduced performance by autistic adults on standardized measures of social cognition, social skill, and social motivation do not correspond in clear and predictable ways with their real-world social interaction outcomes. They also highlight the need for the development and validation of more ecological assessments of autistic social abilities and the consideration of relational dynamics, not just individual characteristics, when assessing social disability in autism.
