UNASSIGNED: Recognition of emotional expressions plays an essential role in @entity1 's healthy development. Anomalies in these skills may result in @entity51 , social interaction difficulties and premorbid emotional problems in @entity1 and adolescents with @entity161 . Twenty-six subjects with early onset @entity161 spectrum (EOSS) disorders and twenty-eight matched healthy controls (HC) were instructed to identify five basic emotions and a neutral expression. The assessment entailed presenting @entity227 and congruent cross-modal stimuli. Using a generalized linear mixed model, we found no significant association for handedness, age or gender. However, significant associations emerged for emotion type, perception modality, and group. EOSS @entity1 performed worse than HC in uni- and cross-modal emotional tasks with a specific negative emotion processing impairment pattern. There was no relationship between emotion identification scores and positive or negative symptoms, self-reported empathy traits or a positive history of @entity245 . However, we found a significant association between emotional identification scores and nonverbal communication impairments. We conclude that cumulative dysfunctions in both nonverbal communication and emotion processing contribute to the social vulnerability and morbidity found in youths who display @entity72 .
