• Vision in autism spectrum disorders. (2009, background): “There is more consistency in the literature that the performance of ASD populations on ‘‘complex” facial expression recognition is relatively poor (Adolphs et al., 2001; Baron-Cohen et al., 2001a, 1997; Boraston, Corden, Miles, Skuse, & Blakemore, 2008; Kleinman, Marciano, & Ault, 2001).”
• Sexuality in a community based sample of adults with autism spectrum disorder (2012, background): “Voracek and Dressler (2006) found a lack of correlation between 2D:4D ratios and the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (Baron-Cohen et al., 2001).”
• Social and Vocational Skills Training Reduces Self-reported Anxiety and Depression Among Young Adults on the Autism Spectrum (2011, methodology): “Our previous work (Hillier et al. 2007) focused on the impact of our program model on empathy, attitudes towards peers, and characteristics of autism as measured by the Autism Spectrum Quotient ( Baron-Cohen et al. 2001 ).”
