Abstract
Studies on social attention and motivation related to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have found that when presented with social and non-social stimuli, neurotypical individuals tend to pay more attention to the former, while individuals with ASD tend to do the inverse. In an effort to add to existing literature, we had participants complete an autism phenotype measure as well as a social attention measure. Contrary to expectations, we found no correlation between autism phenotypes and social attention behaviors. This study was limited by its sample size and diversity as well as the validity of the social attention measures used.
