Abstract
Dorsal stream lesions produce CVI and impair reach-to-grasp movements. In ASD, CVI and reach-to-grasp impairments may occur in the absence of brain lesions. We will use frame-by-frame analyses to compare reach-to-grasp behaviour in ASD, sighted, and unsighted participants in order to quantify the functional impact of "hidden" CVI in ASD.
