Abstract
Frame-by-frame video analysis was used to quantify the right-handed reach-to-grasp movements of ASD participants with suspected CVI. Sighted CVI participants incorporated aspects of haptic guidance into their reach-to-grasp movements that differentiated them from both sighted and unsighted neurotypical controls, likely to compensate for CVIs that often go undiagnosed in ASD.
