Individuals with high functioning autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) exhibit difficulties in the knowledge or correct performance of social skills. This subgroup's social difficulties appear to be associated with deficits in three social cognition processes: theory of mind, emotion recognition and executive functioning. The current study outlines the development and initial administration of the group-based Social Competence Intervention (SCI), which targeted these deficits using cognitive behavioral principles. Across 27 students age 11-14 with a HFA/AS diagnosis, results indicated significant improvement on parent reports of social skills and executive functioning. Participants evidenced significant growth on direct assessments measuring facial expression recognition, theory of mind and problem solving. SCI appears promising, however, larger samples and application in naturalistic settings are warranted.
高功能自闭症（HFA）或阿斯伯格综合征（AS）患者在社会技能的知识或正确表现方面存在困难。这个亚组的社会困难似乎与三种社会认知过程的缺陷有关：心理理论、情绪识别和执行功能。本研究概述了基于群体的社会能力干预（SCI）的开发和初步管理，该干预使用认知行为原则针对这些缺陷。在 27 名 11-14 岁的 HFA/AS 诊断患者中，结果表明家长报告的社交技能和执行功能有显著改善。参与者在直接评估中表现出显著的增长，这些评估衡量了面部表情识别、心理理论和解决问题的能力。SCI 似乎很有前途，但是需要更大的样本和在自然环境中的应用。
