COGNITION IN MALES AND FEMALES WITH AUTISM 2
Cognition in Males and Females with Autism
Female autism spectrum conditions have been minimally researched because of the
biasness in the male side. The study was aimed at investigating four important Cognitive
areas: Motor function, perceptual attention to detail, executive function as well as mentalizing
and emotion perception in autism spectrum conditions to examine the differences and
similarities between females and males without or with the condition (Lai et al., 2012).
Females and males suffering from autism spectrum condition in mentalizing and facial
emotion perception area demonstrated comparable discrepancies when contrasted against
neurotypical controls. Nevertheless, in agility and attention to detail in relation to decision-
making role, even though autism spectrum condition males depicted lesser presentation
comparative to neurotypical males, autism spectrum condition females were comparable to
neurotypical females.
The research used thirty three neurotypical males, thirty five neurotypical females,
forty five ASC males and Thirty eight ASC females right handed Caucasian English speaking
adults. All the subjects were aged between eighteen and nineteen years without intellectual
disability (Lai et al., 2012). As one of the main investigations to officially contrast females as
well as males and without ASC they choose a progressively miserly methodology, choosing
the most broadly utilized undertakings in four key spaces of comprehension intently attached
to autism spectrum condition qualities: mentalizing and feeling, perceptual attention to detail,
motor function and executive purpose. In view of the rising proof of probable sex contrasts
inside autism, they test whether the impact of autism is reliant on gender inside every one of
the psychological areas. The ideas utilized were investigated as follows:
