Notes
- Abstract:
- Most adolescents with High Functioning Autism display deficits in social functioning that can affect their peer interactions and relationships. This study examined the associations between social competence, self- and parent-reports of social/emotional comorbidities, and ethnicity. Participants were 30 adolescents with high-functioning autism and 29 age-, gender-, and IQ-matched typically developing adolescents. As part of a larger study, participants and their parents filled out a series of questionnaires. Each adolescent participated in a peer interaction session in the laboratory consisting of 5 tasks. When diagnostic groups were examined separately, measures of internalizing problems, behavioral symptoms, adaptive skills, and social anxiety were significantly correlated with measures of social competence. When social/emotional functioning was analyzed across different ethnic groups, there were no significant findings. Interpretations and future directions are discussed.
