la trajectoire atypique des compétences communicatives sociales chez
les personnes avec TSA et contribuent à un apprentissage social pauvre tout au long du développement.

Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder
(ASD) is characterized by impairment in social communication and
restricted and repetitive interests. While not included in the
diagnostic characterization, aspects of face processing and learning
have shown disruptions at all stages of development in ASD, although the
exact nature and extent of the impairment vary by age and level of
functioning of the ASD sample as well as by task demands. In this
review, we examine the nature of face attention, perception, and
learning in individuals with ASD focusing on three broad age ranges
(early development, middle childhood, and adolescence/adulthood). We
propose that early delays in basic face processing contribute to the
atypical trajectory of social communicative skills in individuals with
ASD and contribute to poor social learning throughout development. Face
learning is a life-long necessity, as the social world of individual
only broadens with age, and thus addressing both the source of the
impairment in ASD as well as the trajectory of ability throughout the
lifespan, through targeted treatments, may serve to positively impact
the lives of individuals who struggle with social information and
understanding.
