Eye-tracking reveals variability in successful social strategies for children with autism spectrum disorders

Eye-tracking reveals variability in successful social strategies for children with autism spectrum disorders: Scientists used eye-tracking technology to measure the relationship between cognitive and social disability in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and the ability of children with ASD to pay attention to social interactions. Results indicated that children with ASD were less likely than typically-developing peers to look at other people's eyes and faces, and were more likely to fixate on bodies and inanimate objects.
