Summary

This study measured how children with and without autism look at faces, body movements, and objects using eye-tracking technology. Researchers wanted to see if visual patterns could help understand social differences in autism. 150 children took part, including those with autism and healthy controls. No treatment was given—this was purely an observation to learn more about the condition.
