Research Study Description

Faces play an important role in social communication. To interact successfully with others, children need to recognize and tell people’s faces apart. In this study, we are interested in how children with autism spectrum disorder perceive faces. We hope to learn more about how face perception develops in kids with autism and how it supports children’s social understanding and communication.
