Abstract Synopsis

  • Infants who are later diagnosed with autism show a decline in eye contact between 2 and 6 months of age, which is earlier than previously known, indicating early social development issues.
  • The study disprove the idea that eye looking is immediately reduced in infancy, showing instead that it starts off normal and then declines, marking a specific developmental window for intervention.
  • This early decline in eye fixation presents a promising opportunity for early intervention efforts since the initial mechanisms of social orientation toward eyes are still present but gradually diminish.]
