Matched autistic, normal, and nonautistic retarded children were tested for their ability to choose schematic and photographed faces of a man, a woman, a girl, and a boy, to accompany videotaped sequences depicting a person of each class in (a) gestures, (b) vocalizations, and (c) "contexts" that might be considered typical for an individual of this age and sex. Although both autistic and control subjects were able to choose drawings of nonpersonal objects to correspond with videotaped cues, the autistic children were markedly impaired in selecting appropriate faces for the videotaped individuals. It is suggested that these results may reflect autistic children's relative disability in differentiating adults from children and males from females.
对匹配的自闭症儿童、正常儿童和非自闭症智力迟钝儿童进行测试，考察他们从示意图和照片中选择男人、女人、女孩和男孩面孔的能力，这些面孔要与描绘各类型人物的录像片段相匹配，这些片段展示了人物在（a）手势、（b）发声以及（c）可能被认为是该年龄和性别的个体典型特征的“情境”下的表现。尽管自闭症儿童和对照组儿童都能够选择非人物物体的图画来与录像线索相对应，但自闭症儿童在为录像中的人物选择合适面孔方面明显受损。研究表明，这些结果可能反映出自闭症儿童在区分成人与儿童、男性与女性方面相对存在缺陷。
