自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）中社会差异的一个常见例子是对相互凝视的调节能力差，包括眼神接触的持续时间缩短和难以察觉他人凝视的目的。然而，目前尚不清楚这种差异是特定于社会领域的，还是表明ASD中视觉接触和脱离过程中更广泛的变化。为了评估ASD儿童是否经历了视觉注意力的改变，以及这种过程是否特定于社会刺激，我们实施了一个由ASD儿童（n=35）和典型发展（n=32）的社会和非社会图像组成的空白重叠眼动追踪范式。与对照组相比，ASD患儿表现出显著降低的总体间隙效应（即重叠和间隙试验之间对周围刺激的扫视潜伏期的差异）。这种减少跨越了社会和非社会条件。我们的研究结果表明，患有ASD的儿童在视觉注意的一般过程中经历了改变，而且这些改变并不局限于社会领域，而是与认知功能有关。ASD中受影响的视觉参与过程可能导致诸如相互凝视不良等特征，但ASD的社会特异性症状可能源于其他皮层下过程或高阶认知。
A common example of social differences in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is poor modulation of reciprocal gaze, including reduced duration of eye contact and difficulty detecting the aim of another’s gaze. It remains unclear, however, whether such differences are specific to the social domain, or are instead indicative of broader alterations in processes of visual engagement and disengagement in ASD. To assess whether children with ASD experience altered engagement of visual attention, and whether such processes are specific to social stimuli, we implemented a gap-overlap eye-tracking paradigm consisting of both social and non-social images with children with ASD (n=35) and typical development (n=32). Children with ASD demonstrated a significantly reduced overall gap effect (i.e., difference in saccade latency to peripheral stimuli between overlap and gap trials) compared to controls. This reduction spanned both social and non-social conditions. Our findings suggest that children with ASD experience alterations in general processes of engagement of visual attention, and that these alterations are not specific to the social domain, but do associate with cognitive functioning. Affected processes of visual engagement in ASD may contribute to features like poor reciprocal gaze, but social-specific symptoms of ASD likely originate from other sub-cortical processes or higher-order cognition.
