操纵尴尬情绪中各种因素的情景，如尴尬行为发生时观众是否在场，在场观众的类型，移情尴尬等，被呈现给患有自闭症的高功能参与者和那些有学习困难的对照组，以及在语言和非语言心理年龄上相匹配的典型发展中参与者。参与者被要求评价主人公的尴尬程度，并证明他们的反应。据预测，自闭症患者的评分以及提供理由的能力与对照组有显着差异。结果显示，自闭症患者在理解移情尴尬等概念方面存在困难，但对其他变量（如观众在场）的理解却出奇地好。
Scenarios manipulating various factors within the emotion of embarrassment, such as whether or not an audience was present when an embarrassing act was committed, the type of audience present, empathic embarrassment, etc., were presented to high-functioning participants with autism and comparison groups of those with learning difficulties and typically developing participants matched for verbal and nonverbal mental age. Participants were required to rate the level of embarrassment of the protagonist and justify their responses. It was predicted that those with autism would differ significantly from the comparison groups in their ratings and also their ability to provide justifications. The results showed those with autism to have difficulty with such concepts as empathic embarrassment but showed a surprisingly good understanding of other variables manipulated such as the presence of an audience.
