| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In research 1, we examined personal space in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We found that individuals with ASD showed shorter preferred distance both from other people and objects than typically developing (TD) individuals. In addition, both individuals with ASD and TD individuals preferred larger interpersonal distance when eye contact was established than when it was not, in the case of another person approaching them. In research 2, we examined body image in individuals with ASD. We found that both individuals with ASD and TD individuals estimated their shoulder size wider than the actual size, but the tendency is clearer in individuals with ASD than TD individuals.
