研究表明神经性厌食症和自闭症谱系障碍之间存在联系。当前研究的目的是与年龄和性别匹配的典型发育群体相比，检查神经性厌食症和自闭症谱系障碍的社会注意力，并检查社会动机下降是否可以解释这两种疾病的社会注意力下降。参与者在观看动态社交场景时的眼球运动被跟踪。各组之间的固定时间的比例，面部，身体和非社会领域的兴趣进行了比较。自闭症谱系障碍的参与者看脸的频率明显低于对照组，然而，神经性厌食症患者和对照组在注意面孔方面没有差异。典型的发展-规范的Z分数表明，与自闭症谱系障碍和神经性厌食症的身体或非社会感兴趣的领域相比，对面部的注意力显示出最大的偏离规范数据，然而，自闭症谱系障碍的差异大于神经性厌食症。社会动机分数不能预测自闭症谱系障碍或神经性厌食症患者对面孔的注意力。我们的研究结果并不支持这一假设，即在神经性厌食症和自闭症谱系障碍中，社会动机的差异导致了社会注意力的减少。研究表明自闭症和神经性厌食症之间存在联系。例如，在这两种情况下都可以看到僵硬和不灵活的行为，对常规和社会困难的偏好。在这项研究中，我们研究了厌食症患者和自闭症患者是否在社会注意力方面表现出相似之处（他们在参与社交互动或观看与人互动的场景时的目光）。这可以帮助我们理解为什么厌食症和自闭症患者在社交场合会遇到困难。患有厌食症或自闭症的参与者以及没有心理健康问题的参与者观看了一段社交场景的视频，同时我们用眼动仪记录了他们观看的场景部分。参与者还完成了问卷调查，以评估自闭症的特征。我们发现，自闭症参与者比正常发育的参与者更少看脸。然而，与我们的预测相反，患有厌食症的参与者并没有表现出类似的对面部的注意力减少。在两组中，自闭症特征与注意力无关。结果表明，自闭症患者可能会错过重要的社交线索（如面部表情），这可能会导致社交困难。然而，这种机制似乎并不能解释厌食症患者的社交困难。
Research suggests a relationship between anorexia nervosa and autism spectrum disorder. The aim of the current study was to examine social attention in anorexia nervosa and autism spectrum disorder compared with age- and sex-matched typically developing groups, and to examine whether lowered social motivation could explain reductions in social attention across the two disorders. Participants’ eye movements were tracked while watching a dynamic social scene. The proportion of fixation duration to faces, bodies and non-social areas of interest were compared across groups. Participants with autism spectrum disorder looked at faces significantly less often than controls, however, there were no differences between anorexia nervosa and controls in attention to faces. Typically developing -normed z-scores indicated that attention to faces showed the greatest deviation from normative data compared with body or non-social areas of interest in both autism spectrum disorder and anorexia nervosa, however, differences were larger in autism spectrum disorder than in anorexia nervosa. Social motivation scores did not predict attention to faces in either autism spectrum disorder or anorexia nervosa. Our results do not support the hypothesis that differences in social motivation underlie reduced social attention in both anorexia nervosa and autism spectrum disorder. Research suggests a relationship between autism and anorexia nervosa. For example, rigid and inflexible behaviour, a preference for routine and social difficulties are seen in both conditions. In this study, we examined whether people with anorexia and people with autism show similarities in social attention (where they look while engaging in social interactions or watching a scene with people interacting). This could help us understand why people with anorexia and autism experience difficulties in social situations. Participants with either anorexia or autism, as well as participants with no mental health problems watched a video of a social scene while we recorded which parts of the scene they looked at with an eye-tracker. Participants also completed questionnaires to assess characteristics of autism. We found that autistic participants looked at faces less than typically developing participants. However, participants with anorexia did not show a similar reduction in attention to faces, contrary to our predictions. Autistic features were not related to attention in either group. The results suggest that autistic people may miss important social cues (like facial expressions), potentially contributing to social difficulties. However, this mechanism does not appear explain social difficulties in people with anorexia.
