自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童在社交和非社交环境中的视觉分离注意力受损。这些损伤可能以更微妙的形式影响ASD儿童的婴儿兄弟姐妹（ASD兄弟姐妹）。我们调查了6个月大的ASD兄弟姐妹（n = 17）和典型发育儿童（COMP兄弟姐妹：n = 17）的兄弟姐妹在面对面/静止脸协议（FFSF）期间的视觉注意力（凝视）模式，其中父母依次对婴儿有反应，无反应和有反应。在整个实验过程中，ASD同胞将目光从父母的脸上移开的频率低于COMP同胞。ASD同胞的目光离开父母的脸的平均持续时间比COMP同胞长。ASD同胞和COMP同胞在注视父母面部的平均持续时间上没有差异。总之，ASD兄弟姐妹没有表现出缺陷的视觉兴趣，他们的父母的脸，但更大的兴趣比COMP兄弟姐妹在非面部刺激。
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are impaired in visually disengaging attention in both social and non-social contexts. These impairments may, in subtler form, also affect the infant siblings of children with ASD (ASD-sibs). We investigated patterns of visual attention (gazing) in 6-month-old ASD-sibs (n = 17) and the siblings of typically developing children (COMP-sibs: n = 17) during the Face-to-Face/Still-Face Protocol (FFSF), in which parents are sequentially responsive, non-responsive, and responsive to their infants. Throughout the protocol, ASD-sibs shifted their gaze to and from their parents' faces less frequently than did COMP-sibs. The mean durations of ASD-sibs' gazes away from their parents' faces were longer than those of COMP-sibs. ASD-sibs and COMP-sibs did not differ in the mean durations of gazes at their parents' faces. In sum, ASD-sibs showed no deficits in visual interest to their parents' faces, but greater interest than COMP-sibs in non-face stimuli.
