Seeing it differently: visual processing in autism
Open accessAbstract
Several recent behavioral and neuroimaging studies have documented an impairment in face processing in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It remains unknown, however, what underlying mechanism gives rise to this face processing difficulty. One theory suggests that the difficulty derives from a pervasive problem in social interaction and/or motivation. An alternative view proposes that the face-processing problem is not entirely social in nature and that a visual perceptual impairment might also contribute. The focus of this review is on this latter, perceptual perspective, documenting the psychological and neural alterations that might account for the face processing impairment. The available evidence suggests that perceptual alterations are present in ASD, independent of social function.

Atypical visual processing is widely documented in ASD, with alterations in basic perceptual functions including contrast sensitivity, boundary detection, field of view size, and color perception.
“Atypical visual processing has been widely documented in individuals with ASD (see Simmons et al., 2009 for a review), with alterations in basic perceptual functions, including contrast sensitivity (Behrmann et al., 2006, Bertone et al., 2003), boundary detection (Vandenbroucke et al., 2008), field of view size (Song et al., 2015) and color perception (Franklin et al., 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
