对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）情绪反应的研究得出了不同的结果。一些研究报告了ASD患者的统一，平坦和无情感的表达;另一些研究则描述了高度可变的表达，这些表达与典型发育（TD）个体的表达相同甚至更强烈。结果的变异性可能是由于研究设计的差异：一些研究已经检查了姿势（即，而不是自发的表达），其他人研究了社会背景下的自发表达，在此期间，自闭症患者（由于其疾病的性质）可能会表现出与TD同龄人不同的行为。为了确定自发的面部表情和其他情绪反应是否（以及如何）与TD个体不同，我们记录了患有和未患有ASD的儿童和青少年（10至17岁）在非社会背景下观看情感唤起视频时的自发反应。研究人员对面部表情的强度进行编码，并注意到笑声和其他响应性声音的存在。ASD青少年比TD同龄人表现出更强烈，更频繁和更多样的自发面部表情。他们还产生了明显更多的情感发声，包括笑声。当ASD患者不受社会压力的影响时，他们可能比TD患者更频繁、更强烈地表达自己的情绪。对社会环境的解释和/或对情绪表达规则的理解的差异也可能导致群体之间情绪行为的差异。
Research into emotional responsiveness in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has yielded mixed findings. Some studies report uniform, flat and emotionless expressions in ASD; others describe highly variable expressions that are as or even more intense than those of typically developing (TD) individuals. Variability in findings is likely due to differences in study design: some studies have examined posed (i.e., not spontaneous expressions) and others have examined spontaneous expressions in social contexts, during which individuals with ASD—by nature of the disorder—are likely to behave differently than their TD peers. To determine whether (and how) spontaneous facial expressions and other emotional responses are different from TD individuals, we video-recorded the spontaneous responses of children and adolescents with and without ASD (between the ages of 10 and 17 years) as they watched emotionally evocative videos in a non-social context. Researchers coded facial expressions for intensity, and noted the presence of laughter and other responsive vocalizations. Adolescents with ASD displayed more intense, frequent and varied spontaneous facial expressions than their TD peers. They also produced significantly more emotional vocalizations, including laughter. Individuals with ASD may display their emotions more frequently and more intensely than TD individuals when they are unencumbered by social pressure. Differences in the interpretation of the social setting and/or understanding of emotional display rules may also contribute to differences in emotional behaviors between groups.
