Objective To investigate the relationship between the ability of facial emotion recognition,attribution and social adaptation in children with high functioning autism. Methods 19 children with high functioning autism (age 9.0±1.8,male to female 17∶2) took part in the tests.Photos chosen from Chinese static facial expression photos were used to evaluate the ability of emotion recognition and emotion attribution.The results of each child's FIQ,PIQ and VIQ were got from WISC-CR.Autism behavior checklist (ABC) and Social Adaptive Checklist (SAC) were used to estimate the behavior and the social adaptation of the subjects respectively. Results There was no statistical correlation between the ability of facial emotion recognition,attribution and the score of SAC.The score of neutral and disgusted emotion attribution was negatively correlated with the score of ABC (P＜0.05),and the score of sad emotion target attribution was also negatively correlated with ABC (P＜0.05).The negative relationship between factor score,total adaptive quotient and ABC was found (P＜0.01).The correlationships between adaptive quotient,factor score and VIQ (P＜0.05),PIQ (P＜0.01) and FIQ (P＜0.01) were all positive.Conclusion The degree of the symptom influences the development of high functioning autistic children's ability to understand emotion expressions and their social adaptation,the self-care ability of these children may relatively independent of the ability of emotion understanding.
