This study evaluated Mind Reading, an interactive systematic guide to emotions, for its effectiveness in teaching adults with Asperger syndrome (AS) and high-functioning autism (HFA) to recognize complex emotions in faces and voices. Experiment 1 tested a group of adults diagnosed with ASHFA (n= 19) who used the software at home for 10–15 weeks. Participants were tested on recognition of faces and voices at three different levels of generalization. A matched control group of adults with ASHFA (n= 22) were assessed without any intervention. In addition, a third group of general population controls (n= 24) was tested. Experiment 2 repeated the design of Experiment 1 with a group of adults with ASHFA who used the software at home and met in a group with a tutor on a weekly basis. They were matched to a control group of adults with ASHFA attending social skills training and to a general population control group (n= 13 for all three groups). In both experiments the intervention group impro
