      abstract     = {Temporal coordination of communicative behavior is not only
                      located between but also within interaction partners (e.g.,
                      gazeand gestures). This intrapersonal synchrony (IaPS) is
                      assumed to constitute interpersonal alignment. Studies show
                      systematicvariations in IaPS in individuals with autism,
                      which may affect the degree of interpersonal temporal
                      coordination. In thecurrent study, we reversed the approach
                      and mapped the measured nonverbal behavior of interactants
                      with and without ASDfrom a previous study onto virtual
                      characters to study the effects of the differential IaPS on
                      observers (N = 68), both withand without ASD (crossed
                      design). During a communication task with both characters,
                      who indicated targets with gaze anddelayed pointing
                      gestures, we measured response times, gaze behavior, and
                      post hoc impression formation. Results showthat character
                      behavior indicative of ASD resulted in overall enlarged
                      decoding times in observers and this effect was
                      evenpronounced in observers with ASD. A classification of
                      observer’s gaze types indicated differentiated decoding
                      strategies.Whereas non-autistic observers presented with a
                      rather consistent eyes-focused strategy associated with
                      efficient and fastresponses, observers with ASD presented
                      with highly variable decoding strategies. In contrast to
                      communication efficiency,impression formation was not
                      influenced by IaPS. The results underline the importance of
                      timing differences in both productionand perception
                      processes during multimodal nonverbal communication in
                      interactants with and without ASD. Inessence, the current
                      findings locate the manifestation of reduced reciprocity in
                      autism not merely in the person, but in theinteractional
                      dynamics of dyads},
