Abstract

Problems with joint attention are core features ofautism spectrum disorders. Here, we investigated changes in thepupil diameter of children with ASD and typically developingchildren, when they initiate joint attention with a gaze contingentavatar. 31 participants with ASD and 33 TD matched controls,directed the avatar’s gaze to face images. We sought to use thepupil diameter as a metric to differentiate these two groups.We will show the difference in pupil behaviour through anunsupervised k-means classification.
