Social Attention During Object Engagement (SADOE) is lower among children with versus without ASD. (A) Total time engaged with focal toys was not significantly different between groups (bars show mean ± 1 SE). (B) Proportions of time each group spent looking at social and nonsocial targets during engagement with the focal toys. (C) Non-ASD children made significantly more social looks per minute during engagement with the focal toys than children with ASD (p = .023; bars show mean ± 1 SE). non-ASD, without ASD; ASD, autism spectrum disorder; SE, standard error. N = 8 each for non-ASD and ASD groups
