Method This study aimed at comparing social attention in young children with and without ASD (N = 34). We designed two eye-tracking paired preference tasks to assess the effects of emotional expression and the actor?s gender (Experiment 1) and actor?s age (Experiment 2) on the visual scanning pattern of faces in both groups. Results Data analysis yielded three behavioral markers in the ASD group: (1) late orientation to angry faces, (2) late orientation to child faces, and (3) superficial facial processing (shorter visits). Conclusions Clinical and research implications are discussed regarding potential markers that could contribute to early diagnosis and intervention.
