Abstract
To determine differences between typically developing (TD) adults and those with Autism spectrum disorder’s (ASD) autonomic nervous system activity, the pupillary light reflex (PLR) was recorded after baseline then with two cognitive tasks. Differences were detected between baseline and the two experimental conditions, but not between ASD and TD groups.
