Abstract
This study aimed to examine whether autistic traits and impulsivity affect child sexual recognition, adjusting for sexual recognition of women in sexual deviants. A total of 318 sexual deviants participated in this study. Participants completed a questionnaire assessing autistic traits, impulsivity, and sexual recognition of women and children. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed a significant association between the sexual recognition of children and the interactions-lack of social skills in autistic traits with sexual recognition of women and attention to detail in autism with sexual recognition of women. We discussed the effects of these traits on child sexual recognition in sexual deviants.
