Study Background
This study, conducted by Yale University, focuses on understanding how children with intellectual disability (ID) and global developmental delay (GDD) respond to social images. Specifically, we are comparing the social attention of autistic children with intellectual disability to non-autistic children with ID or GDD, all between the ages of 3-11. By observing how these children engage with social stimuli, we aim to uncover the differences in how they process social interactions. The research is designed to improve our understanding of the social world from their unique perspectives.
