Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > 7 (2016) . - 46p. Titre : Alexithymia, but not autism spectrum disorder, may be related to the production of emotional facial expressions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : D. A. TREVISAN, Auteur ; M. BOWERING, Auteur ; Elina BIRMINGHAM, Auteur Article en page(s) : 46p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Affective Symptoms/physiopathology/psychology  Autism Spectrum Disorder/classification/physiopathology/psychology  Case-Control Studies  Child  Facial Expression  Female  Humans  Male  Pattern Recognition, Automated/statistics & numerical data  Social Perception  Software  Alexithymia  Autism  Facial expressions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: A prominent diagnostic criterion of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) relates to the abnormal or diminished use of facial expressions. Yet little is known about the mechanisms that contribute to this feature of ASD. METHODS: We showed children with and without ASD emotionally charged video clips in order to parse out individual differences in spontaneous production of facial expressions using automated facial expression analysis software. RESULTS: Using hierarchical multiple regression, we sought to determine whether alexithymia (characterized by difficulties interpreting one's own feeling states) contributes to diminished facial expression production. Across groups, alexithymic traits-but not ASD traits, IQ, or sex-were associated with quantity of facial expression production. CONCLUSIONS: These results accord with a growing body of research suggesting that many emotion processing abnormalities observed in ASD may be explained by co-occurring alexithymia. Developmental and clinical considerations are discussed, and it is argued that alexithymia is an important but too often ignored trait associated with ASD that may have implications for subtyping individuals on the autism spectrum.
