Facial trustworthiness judgments in children with ASD are modulated by happy and angry emotional cues.

Appearance-based trustworthiness inferences may reflect the misinterpretation of emotional expression cues. Children and adults typically perceive faces that look happy to be relatively trustworthy and those that look angry to be relatively untrustworthy. Given reports of atypical expression percept...
