Non-retarded autistic children are compared to normal controls on measures of emotion expression and recognition. In general, autistic subjects recounted appropriate examples of simple and complex emotions, and accurately labeled relatively ambiguous affect expression in pictures. Autistic children manifested some difficulty talking about socially derived emotions, pride and embarrassment. They required more time and more prompts, their responses were more tentative and "scripted", and they displayed limited understanding of the salience of others in embarrassing situations. Results are discussed in relation to theory of mind impairment and compensation strategies in autism.
将非智力发育迟缓的自闭症儿童与正常对照组在情绪表达和识别测量方面进行比较。总体而言，自闭症受试者能够讲述简单和复杂情绪的恰当例子，并能准确识别图片中相对模糊的情感表达。自闭症儿童在谈论社会衍生情绪、骄傲和尴尬方面表现出一些困难。他们需要更多时间和更多提示，其回答更具试探性且“照本宣科”，并且他们对尴尬情境中他人的显著性表现出有限的理解。结合自闭症的心理理论损伤和补偿策略对结果进行了讨论。
