This study investigated how impairments in emotional knowledge influence the behavior of autistic children. The sample consisted of 36 children aged 8 to 13 years diagnosed with mild to moderate autism. Data were collected using the Emotion Matching Task, the Child Behavior Checklist, Raven's Progressive Matrices, and sociodemographic questionnaires, applied during individual sessions lasting 40 to 50 minutes. Statistical analysis included Spearman's correlation and the Mann-Whitney test. The results showed that children with autism spectrum disorder had greater difficulty identifying emotional expressions and revealed an inverse correlation between emotional knowledge and social problems and aggressiveness. These findings suggest that interventions focused on enhancing emotional knowledge may improve social adaptation and reduce problematic behaviors in children with autism. Los niños con trastorno del espectro autista enfrentan desafíos en el reconocimiento y la comprensión de emociones, lo que afecta sus interacciones sociales. Este estudio investigó cómo las dificultades en el conocimiento emocional influyen en el comportamiento de los niños autistas. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 36 niños de 8 a 13 años con diagnóstico de autismo leve a moderado. Para la recolección de datos, se utilizaron el Test de Conocimiento Emocional, el Child Behavior Checklist, las Matrices Progresivas de Raven y cuestionarios sociodemográficos, aplicados en sesiones individuales de 40 a 50 minutos. El análisis estadístico incluyó la correlación de Spearman y la prueba de Mann-Whitney. Los resultados mostraron que los niños autistas tuvieron mayor dificultad en la identificación de expresiones emocionales y una correlación inversa entre conocimiento emocional y problemas sociales y agresividad. Se concluye que intervenciones centradas en el desarrollo del conocimiento emocional pueden favorecer la adaptación social y reducir comportamientos problemáticos en niños con autismo.
