Social referencing skills in children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review

ConclusionsA deficiency exists in spontaneous looking behaviors and possibly in differential responding to affective cues among children with ASD. The variations in the definitions and measurement methods present in the literature call for additional research that examines both referential looking and differential cue responding components within an ambiguous context. Guidelines for future research and clinical implications are discussed.
