Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by impairments in social functioning, communication, and by the presence of repetitive behaviours and restricted interests. Abnormal processing of faces has also been described as a neuropsychological feature of ASD. We investigated the ability to judge two personality traits in adults with ASD in comparison to typically developed adults (TD). We used an eye tracking device to investigate the exploration of faces when participants judged the degree of trustworthiness and dominance of synthetic faces. In sum, we found that adults with ASD were as capable as TD adults to judge personality traits of face trustworthiness and dominance, which relied on similar exploration of the synthetic faces in the two populations.
自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的特征是社交功能、沟通方面的障碍，以及存在重复行为和兴趣受限。也有人描述说，面部处理异常是 ASD 的一种神经心理学特征。我们研究了自闭症谱系障碍成年患者和正常发育成年患者（TD）判断两个人格特质的能力。我们使用眼动追踪设备来研究参与者在判断合成人脸可信度和支配力程度时对面部的探索。总的来说，我们发现自闭症谱系障碍成年患者和 TD 成年患者一样能够判断人脸可信度和支配力的人格特质，这两种人群对面部的探索方式类似。
