A further investigation of goal-directed intention understanding in young children with autism spectrum disorders . Findings from research investigating goal-directed intention understanding in children with autism spectrum disorders ( ASD ) have been equivocal , in part because of the varying methodologies used across studies . This study compares both object-oriented and social-communicatively cued goal-directed intention understanding in children with ASD and typically-developing children . Relative to matched controls , children with ASD did not exhibit deficits in object-oriented intention understanding . While children with ASD also demonstrated the ability to understand intention when cued by social-communication indicators , typically-developing children differentiated between intentional and unintentional acts at a significantly greater level . Group differences in performance were eliminated if only trials in which children attended to the experimenter 's face were considered . Results suggest that children with ASD have intact object-oriented intention understanding abilities , and are able to use social-communicative cues to understand intention . However , their ability to demonstrate social-communicatively cued intention understanding is limited by a lack of attention to relevant social-communicative information .
