Autism, eye tracking, NIRS, biomarkers, tech tools. Almost nothing about armadillos. @seattlechildrens @UW

For two decades Stephen Spencer has been Publication Chair to the @ETRA_conference. Last Friday it was my privilege to meet him for coffee *and* to present to him the 2022 ETRA Eye on the World Award. Thank you Stephen -- for your gifts, for your giving, and for watching over us!

It was a privilege to serve with @EnkelejdaKasne1 as General Chairs for #ETRA2022 at @seattlechildren's. The presentations were fantastic, the science, phenomenal. But most of all, the passion and love for our work, and each other, was evident every breath. See you in #ETRA2023!

Just published: "A constellation of eye-tracking measures reveals social attention differences in ASD and the broad autism phenotype" in Molecular Autism. https://t.co/zt6vb1qKji. Great work by Kritika Nayar et al. suggesting social attention heritability in ASD.

@SueReviews Great question sue. If it's task-based can it be a biomarker?
