Sample stimuli illustrating three movie frames in Part II.
The one-minute movie was recorded by the researchers with parental permission. The individuals in this figure have given written informed consent (as outlined in PLOS consent form) to publish these case details.

Estimated marginal means for fixation duration, the percentage of fixation duration and the number of fixations on DSIs and DGIs by the ASD and TDC groups in Part I and Part II.
PPVT VIQ is co-varied.

AUC: area under the curve.

iMaps showing the distribution of fixation duration in the ASD group and the TDC group in Part I.
ASD (a): Z-score maps showing the distribution of fixation duration in the ASD group; TDC (b): Z-score maps showing the distribution of fixation duration in the TDC group; Warm colors denote longer fixation duration and cold colors denote shorter fixation duration. ASD vs. TDC (c): Z-score difference map prepared by subtracting the fixation duration data of the TDC group from that of the ASD group. Red areas indicate positive results; the ASD group spent more time in these areas than did the TDC group. Blue areas represent negative results; the control group spent more time in these areas than did the ASD group.

iMaps showing the distribution of the number of fixations in the ASD group and the TDC group in Part I.
ASD (a): Z-score maps showing the distribution of the number of fixations in the ASD group; TDC (b): Z-score maps showing the distribution of the number of fixations in the TDC group; Warm colors denote greater numbers of fixations and cold colors denote fewer fixations. ASD vs. TDC (c): Z-score difference map prepared by subtracting the number of fixations in the TDC group from that in the ASD group. Red areas indicate positive results; the ASD group exhibited a greater fixation number in these areas than did the TDC group. Blue areas represent negative results; the TDC group exhibited a greater fixation number in these areas than did the ASD group.

Red areas indicate positive results; the ASD group spent more time in these areas than did the TDC group. Blue areas represent negative results; the TDC group spent more time in these areas than did the ASD group.
