A number of researchers have investigated social cognition in children with ASD. However, very few of these studies have examined both social cognition and social acceptance to demonstrate that impairments in social cognition are related to lowered social status.

In the study we use the social network methods in an inclusive setting to determine and explore the involvement of children with autism or aspargers syndrome. It has been hypothesized before that social-cognitive accuracy and other externalizing behavior in children would bring out the differences observed in social network of children with autism or those without. The school identified children's with this syndrome (N=60) in the grades 3 to grade 6and were compared to the children that have not been identified with this syndrome in the same settings (N=700) in terms of their social acceptance.
