Summary/Abstract: Background: Autistic spectrum disorders are predominately described as a deficiency of the capacity of individuals to have proper social relations. Objectives: This study examines the association between the quality of social feedback and the forms of social reciprocity. Methods: Rating scale, meta-analysis. Results: There are statistically significant differences between the examined children with autistic spectrum disorders and their normally developing agemates regarding the quality of social feedback (p-value = 0,000 < 0,05). Conclusion: Children with autistic spectrum disorders do not have reciprocal social reactions. Therefore, some substitutes are provoked by the communication deficits. They refer to inclination to avoid any changes and to spend time in motor perseverations and mind wandering.
