Overview

Comparative analysis of emotion recognition in adults with ADHD, ASD, and their comorbidity suggests no exacerbation of deficits.

Key Points

  • Adults with ADHD, ASD, and ADHD+ASD showed specific difficulties with emotion recognition, not animal recognition.
  • Emotion discrimination thresholds highlighted a marked disadvantage in clinical groups with no added impact from comorbidity.
  • This analysis employed eye tracking to ensure consistent visual attention across different participant groups.
  • The findings imply common underlying mechanisms for emotion recognition deficits in both ADHD and ASD.
