Le pic d'habileté aux tâches visuospatiales chez les autistes de haut niveau désigne-t-il vraiment un déficit du traitement global ?

If our results confirm the capacities of children with autism to resolve the tasks requiring a visiospatial processing, the strategies which they mobilize do not support the existence of a weakness of the central coherence. We suggest, in persons with autism, the idea of a priority granted to the local information treatment in the absence of a deficit of global or configural processing.
