Intentional Emotional Face Production in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Is Related to Social Functioning but Not Affect Recognition

Abstract

Date Presented 03/28/20 The results of this study indicate the need to develop interventions targeting EFP abilities for ASD. Children with ASD showed decreased valence, but not accuracy, of their positive-valence facial expressions. In ASD, there was a negative correlation between EFP accuracy and ASD symptoms related to social functioning. There were no relationships found between affect recognition accuracy and EFP accuracy.
