The Effects of Autism and Alexithymia on Physiological and Verbal Responsiveness to Music

---

Abstract
It has been suggested that individuals with autism will be less responsive to the emotional content of
music than typical individuals. With the aim of testing this hypothesis, a group of high-functioning adults on the autism spectrum was compared with a group of matched controls on two measures of emotional responsiveness to music, comprising physiological and verbal measures. Impairment in participants ability to verbalize their emotions (type-II alexithymia) was also assessed. The groups
did not differ significantly on physiological responsiveness, but the autism group was significantly lower on the verbal measure. However, inclusion of the alexithymia score as a mediator variable nullified this group difference, suggesting that the difference was due not to absence of underlying
emotional responsiveness to music in autism, but to a reduced ability to articulate it.
