Objective:To test the ability of facial expression discrimination in children with autism spectrum disorders.Methods:Static basic facial expression photos,including happy,sad,angry,surprised,frightened,disgusted and neutral?expressions,were presented to the participants in order to see whether he could identify them or not.Participants were 13?children with autism spectrum disorders(ASD),and 23 normal children who match ASD participants with gender and developmental?age.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in facial expression discrimination(P<0.05).Besides that,ASD group showed better performance in completing sad,frightened,disgusted and surprised facial?expression discrimination tasks(P<0.05).The discrimination rate of facial expression in ASD group was as follows:happy>sad>angry>frightened>disgusted>surprised>neural;while in the normal group:happy>angry>sad>frightened>neural>disgusted>surprised.Conclusion:ASD show no significant deficits in completing seven basic facial expression discrimination?tasks,and the pattern of recognizing basic facial expression of ASD is different from that of normal children.
