- This paper investigates eye gaze and facial motion dynamics of typical and autistic adults during structured conversation using video, videocall, and face-to-face setups. It reveals that typical and autistic adults show similar modulations of behaviour across setups - suggesting autistic adults also use eye gaze and facial displays as social signals. This has impact in that it overturns previous assumptions about autism. Additionally, the work has timely (Covid-19 related) impact in demonstrating no major differences in eye gaze and facial motion patterns between videocall and face-to-face, suggesting videocalls are a reliable setting to simulate face-to-face interactions in research studies.
