Verbal bias in recognition of facial emotions in children with Asperger syndrome

Article Abstract:

It has been established that, on a test of simple facial emotion recognition, children with Asperger syndrome (AS) do not show deficits in their percentage of correct responses or response time in relation to verbal IQ-matched controls. This research appears to support earlier work indicating that higher ability children with autism process simple facial expressions successfully as a function of their chronological and verbal mental age. There is a need for more research into the actual ability to adapt to real-life social demands shown by people with AS.
