Detecting where our partners direct their gaze is an important aspect of social interaction. An atypical gaze processing has been reported in autism. However, it remains controversial whether children and adults with autism spectrum disorder interpret indirect gaze direction with typical accuracy.

A significant association between obesity/overweight and ADHD has been reported, suggesting that these two conditions, despite their heterogeneity, might share common molecular pathways. Although the co-occurrence of obesity and ADHD is increasingly supported by empirical evidence, the complex pathogenetic link between these two conditions is still unclear.

- The study explores how individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) perceive and judge faces, which is crucial for social interactions.
- It compares the facial judgment abilities of those with ASD to a control group, focusing on their ability to assess "kindness" in both photographic and synthetic face stimuli.
- While the ASD group showed atypical judgments in photographs, both groups performed similarly with synthetic faces regardless of the amount of perceptual cues, suggesting a need for further research into how different types of face stimuli impact social judgment in ASD.
Objective: Cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) seems to be increasingly interesting in the treatment of anorexia nervosa for adult patients. We attempted to apply this support to a group of young inpatients, initially to assess its feasibility and acceptability, and then to improve its content for therapeutic application and future research.
Methods: Ten 12- to 17-year-old inpatients with primary DSM-IV diagnosis of anorexia nervosa participated in a 10-week intervention program with a one-hour group session of CRT per week.
