摘要: Autonomic responses to mental tasks requiring sustained attention were examined in individuals with autism and age- ability-matched controls. Cardiac autonomic function (CAF) was evaluated based on heart rate variability. While the control group showed a significant decrease parasympathetic during tasks, autistic no changes CAF. When individually, suppressed all subjects group. On other hand, activated half of subjects. The paradoxical response suggests that some more stressed under 'resting' conditions than while performing mechanical or repetitive tasks. results seem support hyperarousal people autism.
