Eye Contact Is Intimidating For Individuals With Autism
Developmental impairment known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is brought on by variations in the brain. People with ASD frequently struggle with social contact and communication.
Out of the many characteristics of Autism, reluctance to make eye contact stands out. Researchers now believe they understand where in the brain the tendency to avoid eye contact comes from.
A Peep Inside The Brain Of Individuals With Autism
Brain scans of those with ASD revealed reduced activity in the dorsal parietal cortex during eye-to-eye contact.
This area of the brain has been linked to directing a person's visual assessment of something and influencing their response to that visual stimuli.
The social symptoms of autism have also been related to the dorsal parietal cortex.
Some Final Words
When attempting to maintain eye contact, participants' dorsal parietal brains showed less activity the more severe the autism symptoms were.
With the aid of these findings, researchers might potentially use this area of the brain to assist in the diagnosis of autism.
