鉴于音乐的社会进化起源和自闭症中发现的社会缺陷，人们一直认为自闭症患者对音乐的情感反应迟钝。然而，最近一项针对高功能自闭症成年人的研究表明，他们似乎对音乐有一系列类似于典型发展中人的反应，包括故意使用音乐进行情绪管理。在研究为什么这些反应似乎不受影响的自闭症，我们探讨可能的机制，音乐情绪诱导的听众，假设模拟理论的移情可能照亮当前的争议的性质，在音乐中的情感。利用这些想法，我们提出了建议，使用一个简单的联想学习过程之间的音乐诱导的情绪和他们的认知相关的述情障碍，是常见的自闭症和特点是缺乏认知洞察到一个人的情绪的临床治疗。
IT HAS BEEN ARGUED, IN VIEW OF THE SOCIAL evolutionary origins of music and the social deficits found in autism, that individuals with autism will be emotionally unresponsive to music. However, a recent study of high-functioning adults with autism has shown that they appear to have a range of responses to music similar to typically developing people, including the deliberate use of music for mood management. In examining why these responses appear unaffected in autism, we explore possible mechanisms for musical mood induction in listeners, hypothesizing that the simulation theory of empathy may illuminate current controversies over the nature of emotion in music. Drawing on these ideas, we put forward suggestions for using a simple associative learning process between musically induced emotions and their cognitive correlates for the clinical treatment of alexithymia, a disorder that is common in autism and characterized by an absence of cognitive insight into one's emotions.
