- •
The link between autonomic responsivity towards socioaffective stimuli and anxiety was investigated among those with Williams syndrome (WS).
- •
Those with WS yielded higher anxiety ratings than typically developing (TD) individuals.
- •
Individuals with WS showed a specific difficulty in recognising anger across the social stimuli.
- •
No significant group differences were observed in autonomic reactivity to social-affective stimuli.
- •
Less autonomic arousal to angry social stimuli was related to higher anxiety in WS uniquely.
