      abstract     = {It has been suggested that an early deficit in the human
                      mirror neuron system (MNS) is an important feature of
                      autism. Recent findings related to simple hand and finger
                      movements do not support a general dysfunction of the MNS in
                      autism. Studies investigating facial actions (e.g.,
                      emotional expressions) have been more consistent, however,
                      mostly relied on passive observation tasks. We used a new
                      variant of a compatibility task for the assessment of
                      automatic facial mimicry responses that allowed for
                      simultaneous control of attention to facial stimuli. We used
                      facial electromyography in 18 children and adolescents with
                      Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 18 typically developing
                      controls (TDCs). We observed a robust compatibility effect
                      in ASD, that is, the execution of a facial expression was
                      facilitated if a congruent facial expression was observed.
                      Time course analysis of RT distributions and comparison to a
                      classic compatibility task (symbolic Simon task) revealed
                      that the facial compatibility effect appeared early and
                      increased with time, suggesting fast and sustained
                      activation of motor codes during observation of facial
                      expressions. We observed a negative correlation of the
                      compatibility effect with age across participants and in
                      ASD, and a positive correlation between self-rated empathy
                      and congruency for smiling faces in TDC but not in ASD. This
                      pattern of results suggests that basic motor mimicry is
                      intact in ASD, but is not associated with complex social
                      cognitive abilities such as emotion understanding and
                      empathy},
