Abstract
Recent research brought mixed results about differences in attention allocation measured by eye tracking between autistic and neurotypical individuals. There are several reasons that might be at the core of this confusion, including the given task. In our experiment we tested 10 neurotypical adults: they fulfilled a questionnaire based on self-evaluation assessing their position on the autistic spectrum. Their eye movements were recorded while viewing several complex visual scenes in two conditions: free viewing and completing a task. In the analysis we qualitatively compared visual strategies of two participants scoring in extreme poles of the spectrum. Our findings propose that the task might play a crucial role in the research of attention allocation in autism.
