Samenvatting

Hebben kinderen en adolescenten met een autismespectrumstoornis (ASS) minder empathie? In haar onderzoek heeft Anke Scheeren de empathische vermogens van deze kinderen bepaald. Hun scores verschilden nauwelijks van die van leeftijdgenoten zonder ASS. Ouders vertelden echter dat hun kind met ASS wel degelijk minder empathie toont in het dagelijks leven. De onderzoeksresultaten werpen een kritisch licht op de verschillende meetmethoden van empathie, en bieden implicaties voor de klinische praktijk.
