Faux pas detection and intentional action in Asperger Syndrome . A replication on a French sample . In the present study , we investigated mind reading abilities in a group of adults with Asperger Syndrome ( AS ) by using the faux pas task , an advanced test of theory of mind ( Baron-Cohen et al . ( 1999 ) . Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders , 29 , 407-418 ) . The faux pas is a particular case of a non-intentional action reflecting an involuntary socially inappropriate behavior . Here , individuals with AS over-detected faux pas stories , failed to provide correct justifications of the speaker 's behavior and were unaware of the mistaken belief and of the resulting emotional impact , whereas they appeared to be responsive to social rule violations . We hypothesized that because of an impaired theory-of-mind , individuals with AS may develop compensatory cognitive strategies based on overlearned abstract knowledge about normative rules .
