I read up a bit on how human facial recognition and I found this study:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2768363/
>Ten autistic children were compared with 10 non-autistic children matched for chronological age and performance IQ on two tests of finding the odd face out of a set of photographs of faces
>The autistic children were significantly worse than the non-autistic children at finding the odd person out...They did no worse than the non-autistic children at labelling upside down faces or at labelling objects.
It's a relatively small study, but I found a bunch of other stuff about autistic people being poor at recognizing regular faces, but not those that are upside down
Discuss.
