Despite poorer accuracy, however, the absence of significant between-group differences in response latencies indicates a lack of attentional bias across emotions or groups. A deficit in anger processing corroborates previous findings, as young individuals with ASD have been shown to make significantly more errors in identifying angry faces and also to mislabel faces with ambiguous emotions as angry more frequently than controls (Kuusikko et al., 2009; Philip et al., 2010). A lack of difference in response latency, despite poorer anger-specific accuracy, shows comparable subjective experiences of task difficulty between groups in processing the two emotions. Hence, our behavioural findings are consistent with the concept that social difficulties experienced by individuals with ASD may be, in part, attributable to the inaccurate perception or interpretation of other individuals' facial expressions."}
