Klin等人（《普通精神病学档案》59:809-816,2002），该研究调查了患有ASD（自闭症谱系障碍）的个体是否能够识别驾驶危险，因为他们在处理社会信息方面存在困难。23名患有自闭症的成年男性和21名对照参与者观看了10个包含驾驶危险的视频片段。在一半的片段中，危险源是一个可见的人（社会）；另一半的来源是一辆汽车（非社交）。与对照组相比，ASD患者识别出的社会危害较少（U = 163.00, N = 44, p < 0.05），但非社会危害较少。ASD患者的反应也比对照组慢，F(1,40) = 4.93, p < 0.05。这表明，尽管自闭症患者可以感知驾驶危险，但如果涉及到一个人，他们可能会有特别的困难来识别。
This study investigated whether individuals with ASD (autistic spectrum disorders) are able to identify driving hazards, given their difficulties processing social information, Klin et al. (Archives of General Psychiatry 59: 809-816, 2002). Twenty-three adult males with ASD and 21 comparison participants viewed 10 video clips containing driving hazards. In half of the clips the source of the hazard was a visible person (social); in the other half the source was a car (non-social). Participants with ASD identified fewer social hazards than the comparison participants (U = 163.00, N = 44, p < .05) but not non-social. Participants with ASD were also slower to respond than comparison participants, F(1,40) = 4.93, p < .05. This suggests that, although people with ASD can perceive driving hazards they may have specific difficulty identifying them if they involve a person.
