Abstract

This study compares Big-Five personality characteristics of children with HFASD to TD children ages 6-13 years through the BFI-2, completed by parents and self-report. We hypothesized the HFASD group having lower Big-Five personality characteristics. Results demonstrated statistically significant lower results for the HFASD group in all components of the Big-Five.
