Visuo-tactile integration in autism: atypical temporal binding may underlie greater reliance on proprioceptive information (2015)
Journal Article
Greenfield, K., Smith, A., Carey, M., ROPAR, D., & Newport, R. (2015). Visuo-tactile integration in autism: atypical temporal binding may underlie greater reliance on proprioceptive information. Molecular Autism, 6(51), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13229-015-0045-9

Background Evidence indicates that social functioning deficits and sensory sensitivities in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are related to atypical sensory integration. The exact mechanisms underlying these integration difficulties are unknown; howev...

Previous research has suggested that people with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) may have difficulty with visual perspective taking (VPT) but it is not clear how this relates to different strategies that can be used in perspective taking tasks. The... Read More about Cognitive Mechanisms underlying visual perspective taking in typical and ASC children.

Processing of Spontaneous Emotional Responses in Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Effect of Stimulus Type (2015)
Journal Article
Cassidy, S., Chapman, P., Ropar, D., & Mitchell, P. (2015). Processing of Spontaneous Emotional Responses in Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Effect of Stimulus Type. Autism Research, 8(5), 534-544. doi:10.1002/aur.1468

Recent research has shown that adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have difficulty interpreting others' emotional responses, in order to work out what actually happened to them. It is unclear what underlies this difficulty; important cues may...
