| Abstract(in English) | Individuals with autism are known to have a prominent deficit in detecting and utilizing others' eye-gaze. Although recent emphasis of autism on a continuum of social-communication disability, it remains unclear whether atypical gaze processing in autism constitutes the continuum. With the use of Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ), we show here that the subjective feeling of 'being stared at' correlates with normal population's individual differences in autistic traits when participants have a task set to concentrate on other's eye-gaze: individuals with high-autistic traits tend to feel less 'being stared at' compared to individuals with low-autistic traits. These results raise the possibility that atypical gaze processing related to autistic traits might constitute a continuum, and that it might extend to the subjective feeling evoked by other's eye-gaze. |
