Eye-tracking studies have shown potential in effectively discriminating between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and non-ASD groups. The main objective of the present study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of eye-tracking studies in adults with ASD. A total of 22 studies were included for meta-analysis. Eyes and Non-Social regions proved better for discriminating between ASD and non-ASD adults, while fixation duration seems to be the outcome to choose. Active engaged tasks seem to reduce differences between ASD and non-ASD adults, regardless of the emotional content of the stimuli/task. Proportional fixation duration on eyes and non-social areas in non-active tasks (e.g. free viewing) seems to be the best eye-tracking design for increasing the sensitivity and specificity in ASD adults.
眼动追踪研究表明，其在有效区分自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）和非 ASD 群体方面具有潜力。本研究的主要目的是对 ASD 成人的眼动追踪研究进行系统回顾和荟萃分析。共有 22 项研究被纳入荟萃分析。眼睛和非社会区域被证明可以更好地区分 ASD 和非 ASD 成人，而注视持续时间似乎是选择的结果。主动参与的任务似乎可以减少 ASD 和非 ASD 成人之间的差异，而不管刺激/任务的情绪内容如何。在非主动任务（例如自由观看）中，眼睛和非社会区域的比例注视持续时间似乎是增加 ASD 成人敏感性和特异性的最佳眼动追踪设计。
