a. Screenshot representing the DSI-TASK task (adapted from Franchini et al., 2016, [23]). Areas Of Interest (AOI) correspond to the left (DSI, in orange) and the right (DGI, in blue) halves of the screen. b. The DSI-TASK task is composed of ten discrete segments. DSI and DGI stimuli are randomly assigned to the left or right sides of the screen for each segment. Between each segment, we used a turning wheel to bring participants’ visual attention to the center of the screen.

a. Differences in percentage of time spent on DSI for the DSI-TASK task between the ASD and TD groups. Participants represented in the grey zone preferred DGI. b. Correlations for each group between time spent on DSI during the DSI-TASK and IJA and RJA from the ESCS.
