What is the importance of the finding that children with ASD spend more time looking at caregivers’ mouths than their eyes?
What will be an ideal response?
The eyes convey important information regarding the emotional quality and intent of others, that the mouth does not. This pattern of attention may mean that children with ASD miss facial cues important to understanding social situations; this interpretation is supported by the finding that the less time spent gazing at the caregiver’s eyes, the greater the degree of social impairment.
