STORY: In Autism Study, It’s All About the Eyes.

EXCERPT: Watching Subjects Watch a Film, Researchers Gain Insight into Social Perception by People with Autism.

The film in the study was 'Who Afraid of Virginia Wolf.' Personally, the Autism Spectrum on the film was most apparent - that is fixations/interests on household objects, and that sense (short of aversion) on focusing on the stormy relationship of the two main characters in the film.

That's why the film, 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' was applied in the study - that is the study actually analyzed common aversions associated with the 'Autism Spectrum.'

The results of the study can tell alot about the 'Autism Spectrum' - difficulties with social interaction, chaotic/confusing settings, anxiety, and more.
