Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder is associated with impairments in making fearful vs neutral face discriminations.Compared with 19 controls, MA, a 19-year-old woman, processed fearful faces more slowly than neutral showing heightened gamma and delta activity which may be a marker for less efficient processing of fear in the social brain.
