| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often refuse to go to school because of difficulties in learning in class. We performed gaze behavior analysis of children with ASD to understand their difficulties in the classroom. We compared eye movements of the children ASD and those with TD while they performed free viewing of two movies depicting actual classes. We defined the regions of interest (ROIs) as the teacher’s face and finger, the cartoon characters and geometric figures at which the teacher pointed, and the classroom wall that contained no objects. Children with ASD spent less gaze time on the cartoon characters pointed at by the teacher; they spent more gaze time on the wall in both classroom scenes. These results suggest that children with ASD do not follow the teacher’s instructions in class and persist in gazing at inappropriate visual areas such as walls. Thus, they may have difficulties in understanding content in class, leading to maladaptation to school.
