Brief Summary
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are known to have difficulty with socio-communicative functioning and restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests, and there is considerable evidence that the majority also struggle with associated emotional problems. Speech is typically delayed or may regress, comprehension is impaired, if not at the word level, then at the level of sentences, nonverbal and verbal language are affected, and pretend play is delayed or absent, some children are nonverbal or have sparse, impoverished, poorly articulated, and grammatical speech. Objective: To assess in which interface has ASD best performance or functionality. Method: Will be evaluated 100 individuals divided into two groups: 50 individuals with diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD-group), aged 7 to 15 years old, males and females; and 50 individuals with typical development (TD-group) matched by age and sex to the ASD-group. Individuals with comorbidities and functional disabilities that would impede the completion of the task were excluded.
