Methodological issues for experiments on autistic individuals' perception and understanding of emotion.
The purpose of this paper is to consider problems that arise in designing and interpreting experimental investigations of autistic children's capacities for perceiving and understanding emotion, and to offer a review of published studies. Attention is drawn to some strengths and limitations of the experimental approach in this domain.
