自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者的面部情绪知觉受到很大影响，但目前对ASD患者如何误解面部表情，导致他们难以准确识别面部情绪的了解甚少。这项研究检测了45名患有自闭症的成年人和30名年龄和性别匹配的非自闭症志愿者的面部情绪感知，以确定在面部处理过程中导致自闭症情绪识别障碍的情绪曲解模式。结果显示，很难区分情绪和中性的面部表情，这是ASD参与者表现出的大部分情绪感知障碍的特征。特别是，患有自闭症的成年人独特地将快乐的面孔误解为中性，并且比典型的志愿者更有可能将负面情绪归因于非情绪化的面孔。在ASD患者中，过度将情绪归因于中性面孔与更大的沟通和情绪智力损害显著相关。这些发现表明，对面部表情的解释存在潜在的负面偏见，并可能对旨在纠正ASD情绪感知的干预措施产生影响。
Facial emotion perception is significantly affected in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet little is known about how individuals with ASD misinterpret facial expressions that result in their difficulty in accurately recognizing emotion in faces. This study examined facial emotion perception in 45 verbal adults with ASD and 30 age- and gender-matched volunteers without ASD to identify patterns of emotion misinterpretation during face processing that contribute to emotion recognition impairments in autism. Results revealed that difficulty distinguishing emotional from neutral facial expressions characterized much of the emotion perception impairments exhibited by participants with ASD. In particular, adults with ASD uniquely misinterpreted happy faces as neutral, and were significantly more likely than typical volunteers to attribute negative valence to non-emotional faces. The over-attribution of emotions to neutral faces was significantly related to greater communication and emotional intelligence impairments in individuals with ASD. These findings suggest a potential negative bias toward the interpretation of facial expressions and may have implications for interventions designed to remediate emotion perception in ASD.
