Annotation

This paper uses the autism-spectrum quotient (AQ) and the humor styles questionnaire (HSQ) to explore the connection between humor styles and the wider autism phenotype in a sample of the general US population. The factor “poor mind-reading” appears linked to higher scores on negative humor styles and the factor “attention to detail” to higher scores on all humor styles, indicating a more nuanced portrait of the link between autism-spectrum features and humor.
