【Objective】 To evaluate the ability and characteristics of facial expression recognition and emotion attribution in children with autism. 【Methods】 The photos from Chinese Static facial expression photos were chosen for the test.19 children with autism [age (9.0±1.8)y,17 boys and 2 girls] participated in the test,while 21 normal children [age (9.7±1.8)y,19 boys and 2 girls] were matched by gender and age as control group.They accepted facial expression emotion matching recognition test,facial emotion naming recognition test and emotion attribution test.Results were analysed in 5 aspects,which included emotion matching score,emotion naming score,emotion target attribution score,emotion matching attribution score and emotion naming attribution score. 【Results】 Except fear emotion naming,there was statistical significance in both facial emotion matching recognition and naming recognition score between groups(P＜0.05).Except fear target emotion attribution,there was statistical difference in all emotion attribution score between groups(P＜0.05).There was no statistical difference in emotion attribution score in autism group(P＞0.01),while emotion naming attribution score was higher than emotion matching attribution score and target emotion attribution score (P＜0.01) in control group.In autism group,only happy emotion matching score was higher than neutral and negative emotion matching score(P＜0.002 3).In control group,happy emotion matching score,emotion naming score and emotion attribution score were higher than neutral and negative emotion score. 【Conclusions】 Children with autism appear to have deficit in facial emotion recognition and emotion attribution,and the development pattern of recognizing basic facial expression is different from normal children,while they discriminate emotion in a non-emotional way.
