| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, the responses to real persons in live situations and those in computer monitors were examined in individuals with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and typically developing (TD) individuals. First, attentional orienting towards a real person making eye contact was larger than that towards a person in a monitor in both groups. Second, individuals with ASD maintained shorter interpersonal distances than TD individuals did. It was also found that both groups of individuals maintained interpersonal distances longer during making eye contact than during no eye contact being made. Therefore, at least in live situations, individuals with ASD may show intact responses to others making eye contact. Further evidence-based investigations are needed to test how social difficulties in ASD are associated with their limited interests in live people.
