I'm totally sure what you are asking about.
Are you asking about how the human body perceives motion and how that can be affected by autism? That I can sort of answer as I have big problems with this.
Motion perception is closely tied in to the balance system which consists of 3 separate senses of the body. I will try to stay to motion.
The first sense is sight. When you see an object such as a ball getting larger, it means one of 2 things. Either you are approaching the ball or the ball is approaching you.
Your body decides which of the two is happening by referencing the other 2 senses. The vestibular system tells your body if your head is moving and what position it is in relative to the ground. Regarding the ball growing larger your vestibular system will probably tell your brain that there is no head movement, so the ball is possibly approaching you.
The third sense is body awareness. It is basically muscle and tendon tension that tells your brain what position your arms, legs and torso are in relative to each other and if there is any motion in them. When your brain sees that there is no motion in the limbs either, it makes finally decides that the ball is growing in size because it is approaching you, and that you better do something to catch it, or get out of its way.
I hope this helps.
i heard they are faster in Motion in the eyes
