dc.description.abstract | One of the characteristic hallmarks of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) includes an atypical response to eye-contact. Experimental research has contributed significantly to the extant literature on eye-contact in ASD; however, there is a dearth of qualitative research exploring the phenomenological experience of eye-contact for autistic individuals. The current study aimed to explore the subjective experience of deliberate and self-conscious adaptation of eye-contact by autistic participants using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Nine autistic adults were interviewed. Group experiential themes included; (1) Eye-contact: Awareness and motivation, (2) Phenomenology of eye-contact, and (3) Strategies to make eye-contact. This study makes an important and novel contribution to understanding the experience of eye-contact for autistic individuals, and highlights factors influencing effective eye-contact, which may have implications for psychological intervention. | en |
