Article Synopsis
- Asperger's syndrome (AS) is a type of autism spectrum disorder marked by significant challenges in social interaction, particularly in emotional reciprocity.
- A study examining how adolescents with AS (12 participants) compared to typically developing adolescents (15 participants) recognize basic emotions in speech found that both groups performed similarly in identifying emotions like happy, sad, angry, and neutral.
- The results suggest that the ability to recognize basic emotions from speech may develop during childhood, rather than being entirely impaired in those with AS.
