Nonverbal Affective Decoding Ability in Children with Autism and in Typical Preschoolers.

Feldman, Robert S.; And Others

Journal of Early Intervention, v17 n4 p341-50 Fall 1993

Twelve male children (ages 2-6) with autism were found to be less accurate than 12 typical male children in decoding nonverbal facial expressions of happiness, sadness, or anger in videotaped vignettes. However, children with autism were able to identify happiness vignettes at above-chance levels. (Author/JDD)
