一项新的任务(“护理者”)被用来测试自闭症成年人同理心降低的说法。护理者测量情绪识别(识别另一个人的情感状态的能力)、情感共鸣(另一个人的情感状态导致共情者处于匹配状态的程度)和影响分享(共情者的状态与他们归因于另一个人的状态匹配的程度)。在控制述情障碍后，自闭症患者表现出完整的情感分享、情感认同和情感移情。结果表明，回溯性的社会情绪处理减少，可能是由于未能推断出神经典型的心理状态。因此，自闭症可能与难以回溯推断他人的情感状态有关，但与分享这种状态无关。因此，当采取适当的措施时，自闭症患者并不表现出缺乏同理心。
A new task (‘CARER’) was used to test claims of reduced empathy in autistic adults. CARER measures emotion identification (ability to identify another’s affective state), affective empathy (degree to which another’s affective state causes a matching state in the Empathiser) and affect sharing (degree to which the Empathiser’s state matches the state they attribute to another). After controlling for alexithymia, autistic individuals showed intact affect sharing, emotion identification and affective empathy. Results suggested reduced retrospective socio-emotional processing, likely due to a failure to infer neurotypical mental states. Thus, autism may be associated with difficulties inferring another’s affective state retrospectively, but not with sharing that state. Therefore, when appropriate measures are used, autistic individuals do not show a lack of empathy.
