How do autistic individuals experience eye-tracking research? Our study aims to answer this question by working directly with neurodivergent children and their families to reshape how social attention is studied.

Through interactive sessions, creative activities, and participatory research, we will gather insights on what works, what doesn’t, and how eye-tracking can better reflect autistic perspectives. By engaging with families in the UK, Italy, and China, we ensure diverse voices are included in shaping future research and support strategies.

Our goal is to develop new, inclusive eye-tracking methods that improve social skills training, research, and education—empowering autistic individuals with tools that truly reflect their lived experiences.

✅ Autistic children (4-14 years old)
✅ Their parents/caregivers

Join a interactive session lasting between 45 minutes and 2 hours, depending on your child's needs. During the session, your child will:
🎬 Watch a short video about eye-tracking
🎨 Choose creative activities (drawing, role-play, photography)
🧸 Explore a mock eye-tracking setup
💬 Share thoughts in a relaxed, child-friendly way

Parents can also share their perspectives. Sessions take place at London Metropolitan University or online. A session guide will be provided beforehand.
