TLDR
Best corrected VA was significantly better than the initial habitual acuity in both groups, but adults with and without ASC did not differ on ETDRS or FrACT binocular VA.About:

Sensory perception in autism
TL;DR: It is argued that sensory traits have important implications for the development of animal and computational models of the condition and how difficulties in sensory processing may relate to the other domains of behaviour that characterize autism.

Global/Local Processing in Autism: Not a Disability, but a Disinclination
TL;DR: It is found that although children with autism showed a reduced preference to report global properties of a stimulus when given a choice, their ability to process global properties when instructed to do so is unimpaired, supporting prior claims that people with ASD show a disinclination, not a disability, in global processing.
Global/Local Processing in Autism: Not a Disability, but a Disinclination
TL;DR: This paper found that although children with ASD showed a reduced preference to report global properties of a stimulus when given a choice, their ability to process global properties when instructed to do so is unimpaired.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slower Rate of Binocular Rivalry in Autism
TL;DR: An index of atypical cortical dynamics that may underlie both the social and nonsocial symptoms of autism is provided, which was highly predictive of clinical measures of autistic symptoms.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that reduced global motion perception in autism is driven by an atypical response early in visual processing and may reflect a fundamental perturbation in neural circuitry.

The autism-spectrum quotient (AQ): evidence from Asperger syndrome/high-functioning autism, males and females, scientists and mathematicians.
TL;DR: The Autism-Spectrum Quotient is a valuable instrument for rapidly quantifying where any given individual is situated on the continuum from autism to normality, and its potential for screening for autism spectrum conditions in adults of normal intelligence remains to be fully explored.

DSM-IV: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
TL;DR: The DSM-IV: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , fourth edition, was developed with a great deal of input from mental health professionals and professional organizations and is a great improvement over thethird edition (DSM-III) and the third edition, revised (DSS-III-R).

Sensory processing in children with and without autism: a comparative study using the short sensory profile.
Scott Tomchek,Winnie Dunn +1 more
TL;DR: These findings begin to confirm the prevalence and types of sensory processing impairments in autism and are needed to more clearly define patterns of sensoryprocessing in people with ASD.

Describing the Sensory Abnormalities of Children and Adults with Autism.
TL;DR: Patterns of sensory abnormalities in children and adults with autism were examined using the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO) and it was confirmed that sensory abnormalities are pervasive and multimodal and persistent across age and ability.
