Abstract
⺠Attention in ASD is reviewed in comparison with neurotypical attentional networks. ⺠ASD is characterized by deficits in alerting, orienting, and executive networks. ⺠A model proposes that deficits in disengagement contribute to emergence of ASD. ⺠Atypical attention may be a useful behavioral marker for early ASD identification. ⺠Efficacious early interventions may benefit from knowledge of attentional function.
