Use of Eye Tracking to Aid in Autism Risk Detection

Use of Eye Tracking to Aid in Autism Risk Detection

The study will use a non-invasive remote eye-tracking system (Eyelink Portable Duo) to acquire a short series of eye-tracking measures.

The study will use a non-invasive remote eye-tracking system (Eyelink Portable Duo) to acquire a short series (less than 15 mins) of eye-tracking measures (e.g., looking time, pupil diameter, oculomotor dynamics), which may be associated with autism in young children ages 12-48 months. We will recruit children from Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health clinics to determine whether these measures may help determine autism risk.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Young children ages 12-48 months scheduled for health care visits at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health clinics (e.g., Pediatric Care Center clinics).
• Children must have English- or Spanish-speaking caregivers.
• Children must have a legal guardian that is able to provide consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Child is younger than 12 months or older than 48 months.
• Child's caregiver(s) is not English- or Spanish-speaking.
