abstract = {Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can be understood as a
social interaction disorder. This makes the emerging
“second-person approach” to social cognition a more
promising framework for studying ASD than classical
approaches focusing on mindreading capacities in detached,
observer-based arrangements. According to the second-person
approach, embodied, perceptual, and embedded or interactive
capabilities are also required for understanding others, and
these are hypothesized to be compromised in ASD. We
therefore recorded the dynamics of real-time sensorimotor
interaction in pairs of control participants and
participants with High-Functioning Autism (HFA), using the
minimalistic human-computer interface paradigm known as
“perceptual crossing” (PC). We investigated whether HFA
is associated with impaired detection of social contingency,
i.e., a reduced sensitivity to the other’s responsiveness
to one’s own behavior. Surprisingly, our analysis reveals
that, at least under the conditions of this highly
simplified, computer-mediated, embodied form of social
interaction, people with HFA perform equally well as
controls. This finding supports the increasing use of
virtual reality interfaces for helping people with ASD to
better compensate for their social disabilities. Further
dynamical analyses are necessary for a better understanding
of the mechanisms that are leading to the somewhat
surprising results here obtained},
