RESUMO

Reduced pain sensitivity is widely reported to be a common feature of children with autism. The current research was carried out at the Department of Psychiatry from the University of São Paulo Medical School, with collaboration of the Odontology School. The aim of the study was to investigate responsiveness to pain in 20 patients with high-functioning autism and 20 without autism using an electric stimulation on tooth, a subjective measure provided by a facial pain scale, a behavior schedule, and observation of arterial blood pressure and cardiac frequency evolution.. Results were discussed considering Theory of Mind, Central Coherence and Executive Disfunction
