| Abstract | This study compared the use of eye gaze in interpreting mental states in meaningful contexts in 19 native Cantonese-speaking adults with and without high-functioning autism (HFA). The two groups were matched on sex, age, and educational level. The task involved judging the mental state of a story character based on a photograph of a human’s eye gaze. Results revealed no significant interaction effect between groups and mental state types. Yet, the HFA group showed significantly lower accuracy and longer processing time than the neuro-typical controls (NT) in the interpretation of mental states through eye gaze in meaningful context. The present study supported difficulties in reading mentalistic information through eye gaze in HFA as explained by Theory of Mind (ToM) deficit and atypical face processing manner proposed in previous research.
