Abstract

Autistic traits including social reciprocal deficits, communication deficits and stereotyped behaviors, are manifested not only in patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families, but also in general population. In recent years, there has much research related to autistic traits. This ariticle summarizes research advance of autistic traits in ASD relations and general population.

Key words
