Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated the characteristics of social cognition, neuro-cognition and social maladjustment, as well as the relationships among them, in people with Asperger syndrome (AS) and analyzed social maladjustment using a text-mining approach based on the frame of reference of AS. The results suggested that specific social maladjustments were possibly analogous to the cognitive characteristics of AS. The maladjustment has been suggested to occurs when the rather logical and appropriate reasoning in AS is no longer able to deal with illogical problems of neuro-typical such as situation-dependent, likes- and dislikes-dependent, naive cynicism.
