This study examined social-pragmatic inferencing, visual social attention and physiological reactivity to complex social scenes. Participants were autistic young adults (n = 14) and a control group of young adults (n = 14) without intellectual disability. Results indicate between-group differences in social-pragmatic inferencing, moment-level social attention and heart rate variability (HRV) reactivity. A key finding suggests associations between increased moment-level social attention to facial emotion expressions, better social-pragmatic inferencing and greater HRV suppression in autistic young adults. Supporting previous research, better social-pragmatic inferencing was found associated with less autistic traits.
本研究考察了社交语用推理、视觉社会关注和对复杂社会场景的生理反应。参与者包括自闭症青年（n=14）和对照组青年（n=14），他们没有智力障碍。结果表明，社交语用推理、瞬间社会关注和心率变异性（HRV）反应存在组间差异。一个关键发现表明，自闭症青年的面部表情社会注意力增加、社交语用推理能力提高和 HRV 抑制增强之间存在关联。与先前的研究一致，更好的社交语用推理与较少的自闭症特征相关。
