“…Furthermore, our results have a broader scope, suggesting overall poorer social skill and social behavior in adults with autism. This is in accordance with the notion that in autism, impairment in this area is regarded a primary deficit (Carter, Davis, Klin, & Volkmar, 2005), while in schizophrenia this is still unclear (Brü ne, 2005). However, in schizophrenia most evidence points to a strong relationship between acute psychosis and theory of mind impairment.…”

“…Young children on the autism spectrum have problems initiating play with others and show an impaired ability in maintaining peer friendships. 31,32 For adolescents with ASD, social communication challenges usually intensify as teen relationships take on greater social importance. 33 Although individuals with ASD may desire greater social interaction, 34 they experience greater loneliness, social rejection, and bullying than their peers.…”

Abstract:In their everyday situations, individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) encounter problems perceiving and understanding the facial expressions of others. If people with ASD have difficulties interpreting facial emotions, it is not surprising that they would struggle in their daily social interactions. An important question is whether facial emotion skills can be learned through systematic instruction and training. The accessibility, portability, and engagement of mobile devices (ie, smartphones, tablets) afford exciting new opportunities for creating innovative apps in emotional face training. In this article, we review the current crop of facial emotion apps for autism. We evaluate the apps according to the following criteria: face-processing skills, social attributes, and usability. We discuss the key ingredients of faceprocessing apps that will help a person on the autism spectrum make the transition from the small screen of the mobile device to the big world of real life.

“…Individuals with ASD may have difficulties initiating or responding to social interactions, taking the perspective of others, understanding sarcasm or humor, and employing social norms successfully (e.g., using tact; Carter, Davis, Klin, & Volkmar, 2005). They also may misinterpret others' nonverbal forms of communication, such as gestures and facial expressions (e.g., signs of boredom or frustration).…”

Many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulties obtaining and maintaining employment, yet little research has evaluated methods for assessing and improving critical vocational skills. In this study, we evaluated an assessment of job-related social skills for individuals with ASD by arranging conditions that simulated on-the-job experiences in a clinic setting. The experimenter contrived situations to assess a variety of social skills, including asking for help, asking for more materials, and responding to corrective feedback. A total of eight individuals, aged 16 to 32 years, participated. Results suggested that the assessment was useful for identifying specific social skills that could be targeted for intervention to increase success in the work environment. These findings add to the current literature by demonstrating an objective method for assessing a variety of job-related social skills under controlled, naturalistic conditions.
