Going out for a relaxed walk around the streets helps shift a dreary mood. The crisp outdoor breeze and shifting views along the road bring fresh energy into an otherwise repetitive routine.

Social attention during shared book reading in autsitic children & as a marker for social development
@TheJCPP

We assessed eye-gaze patterns of autistic children during shared book reading (inc joint attention sequences)
Autistic children showed reduced social attention, including during joint-attention, and more attention to background images.
Patterns were associated with autism features, cognitive development and eye-gaze in free-play.
The task may be useful for understanding & detecting social delay.
How children attend in shared reading has implications for learning, education & social development.
