Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Enroll in 30 ASD patients aged 20 years or older with no intellectual disability and borderline intelligence (ie IQ 85 or higher) and 30 neurotypical (TD) groups matched by age, gender, and IQ. For the diagnosis of ASD, the 5th edition (DSM-5) of the Diagnosis and Statistics Manual for Mental Illness is used, and the diagnosis is made with the unanimous agreement of two psychiatrists who have been examined separately. For IQ evaluation, use WAIS-III or WAIS-IV, and enter after confirming that FIQ85 or higher and that there is no problem in language comprehension (VIQ85 or higher).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: In order to exclude the effects of secondary disorders, cases of coexisting mental illness such as schizophrenia and depression are excluded. We do not exclude abnormalities in the developmental disability zone that are often associated with ASD, such as lack of attention / hyperactivity, localized learning disabilities, communal motor disorders, tic disorders, and Tourette's disorders, and are thought to be inherent in the patient.
