This study intended to investigate the emotion-inference performance of individuals with autistic spectrum disorders. Ten individuals with autistic spectrum disorders (mean MA: 7:8, mean CA; 24:10) and 40 normal young children (4yrs; n=23, and 6yrs; n=17) were participated in this study. The emotion-inference task was included two conditions, other-emotion condition and self -emotion condition. The results were as follows: 1) the performance of autistic group was significantly lower than that of older children group. 2) In younger children group, the performance of other-emotion condition was significantly higher than that of self emotion condition. In contrast, in autistic and older children group, significant difference between two conditions was not admitted. 3) The response of autistic subjects included many responses “based on memory”. These findings suggest that when individuals with autistic disorder inferred others' emotion, they might infer with specific strategy and based on owns' memory about self-emotional experience.
