This study looks at how children and teens with autism or ADHD understand social situations. It uses games and tasks to measure social thinking skills, which may help doctors better support these kids.
This study uses MRI to measure how children’s eyes track during tasks, aiming to better understand social thinking in autism. It includes both autistic participants and children with very low autism scores to compare results.
This study uses MRI brain scans (already needed for medical reasons) to better understand how autism affects social thinking. It compares people with autism to healthy volunteers to see differences in brain activity.
This study helps identify signs of autism and other developmental differences early in babies, and then follows families over time. If you join, you’ll be asked to consent and share information as your child grows up to age 3.
This study uses an eye-tracking tool (it measures where and how your eyes move) to assess how people process social information. It aims to build a standard way to evaluate social processing in children and in comparison groups without these diagnoses.
This study looks at how autistic children ages 9 to 12 understand social situations. It aims to compare understanding of social interactions that involve more or less information to help improve future support.
