虽然许多研究已经研究了自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者的面部情感感知，但很少有研究调查ASD患者的面部表情如何被其他人感知。在这里，天真的女性观察者（n = 38）判断ASD成年人（n = 6）和典型发育（TD）成年人（n = 6）在姿势条件和诱发条件下产生的表达的强度，自然度和情感类别，其中情绪被自然地引发和验证。ASD表达被评为比TD表达更强烈，更不自然，但与预测相反，被识别出更高的准确性，主要由愤怒的表情驱动的效果。诱发表达的自然度等级与TD的识别准确性呈正相关，但与ASD个体无关。总的来说，这些发现突出了ASD中面部表情的差异，但不是减少，这并不妨碍情感识别的准确性，但可能会影响社交互动质量。
Though many studies have examined facial affect perception by individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), little research has investigated how facial expressivity in ASD is perceived by others. Here, na < ve female observers (n = 38) judged the intensity, naturalness and emotional category of expressions produced by adults with ASD (n = 6) and typically developing (TD) adults (n = 6) in both a posed condition and an evoked condition in which emotions were naturalistically elicited and validated. ASD expressions were rated as more intense and less natural than TD expressions but contrary to prediction were identified with greater accuracy, an effect driven primarily by angry expressions. Naturalness ratings of evoked expressions were positively associated with identification accuracy for TD but not ASD individuals. Collectively, these findings highlight differences, but not a reduction, in facial expressivity in ASD that do not hinder emotion recognition accuracy but may affect social interaction quality.
