Preference for biological motion is reduced in ASD: implications for clinical trials and the search for biomarkers

ConclusionsBiological motion preference elicits small-to-medium-sized case –control effects, but individual differences do not strongly relate to core social autism associated symptomatology. We interpret this as an autistic difference (as opposed to a deficit) likely manifest in social brain regions. The extent to which this is an innate difference present from birth an d central to the autistic phenotype, or the consequence of a life lived with ASD, is unclear.
