Facial emotion recognition in autistic adult females correlates with alexithymia, not autism / Louise OLA in Autism, 24-8 (November 2020)
[article]
Titre : Facial emotion recognition in autistic adult females correlates with alexithymia, not autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Louise OLA, Auteur ; Fiona GULLON-SCOTT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2021-2034 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : *alexithymia *autism spectrum disorders *emotion recognition *females Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research with autistic males has indicated that difficulties in recognising facial expressions of emotion, commonly associated with autism spectrum conditions, may instead be due to co-occurring alexithymia (a condition involving lack of emotional awareness, difficulty describing feelings and difficulty distinguishing feelings from physical bodily sensations) and not to do with autism. We wanted to explore if this would be true for autistic females, as well as to use more realistic stimuli for emotional expression. In all, 83 females diagnosed with autism spectrum condition completed self-report measures of autism spectrum condition traits and alexithymia and completed a visual test that assessed their ability to identify multimodal displays of complex emotions. Higher levels of alexithymia, but not autism spectrum condition features, were associated with less accuracy in identifying emotions. Difficulty identifying one's own feelings and externally oriented thinking were the components of alexithymia that were specifically related to facial emotion recognition accuracy. However, alexithymia (and levels of autism spectrum condition traits) was not associated with speed of emotion processing. We discuss the findings in terms of possible underlying mechanisms and the implications for our understanding of emotion processing and recognition in autism.
