Atypical Brain Circuits May Cause Slower Gaze Shifting in Infants Who Later Develop Autism

Infants at 7 months of age who go on to develop autism are slower to reorient their gaze and attention from one object to another when compared to 7-month-olds who do not develop autism, and this behavioral pattern is in part explained by atypical brain circuits.
