Social Coordination

The Social Coordination study aims to explore how people express themselves through facial expressions and body movements. We need help from adolescents ages 12 to 17 who have an Autism diagnosis or those who may be seeking a professional Autism evaluation to better understand behaviors they experience. We also need help from children and adolescents ages 8-17 who are typically developing. By utilizing new technology, researchers hope to identify differences in these expressions and movements. This information could lead to better methods for recognizing and understanding Autism and other behavioral conditions.
