Task-evoked pupil responses during free-viewing of hierarchical figures in relation to autistic traits in adults by Chloe Brittenham, Antoinette Sabatino DiCriscio, Vanessa Troiani, Yirui Hu, Jennifer B. Wagner

“…Further, trajectory-based pupillary analysis revealed two trajectories, one characterized by constriction and the other dilation, and results showed that the dilation group disproportionately included low traits individuals. Findings suggest that although high and low traits groups showed similar behavioral responses, visual strategies used may differ, as indicated by pupillometry. …”
