According to research recently reported in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, children with and without autism were exposed to some pleasant and unpleasant odors. The children's responses in three forms were observed and recorded. Those included their facial expressions, autonomic responsiveness, and their verbal descriptions of their emotional states. The children with autism were not as likely to verbally describe an emotional reaction that coincided with their facial expression indicating this may be key in explaining observed differences in the expression of emotions by children with autism.
