Here, we investigate how the nature of social interaction (Cooperative vs. Uncooperative) and the person perspective influence permeability and flexibility of interpersonal distance. Moreover, we tested whether the deficit observed in ASD children, reflects the social impairment (SI) in daily interactions. The stop\u2010distance paradigm was used to measure the preferred distance between the participant and an unfamiliar adult (first\u2010person perspective, Experiment 1), and between two other people (third\u2010person perspective, Experiment 2). Interpersonal distance was measured before and after the interaction with a confederate. The Wing Subgroups Questionnaire was used to evaluate SI in everyday activities, and each ASD participant was accordingly assigned either to the lower (children with low social impairment [low\u2010SI ASD]), or to the higher SI group (children with high social impairment [high\u2010SI ASD]). We observed larger interpersonal distance (<jats:italic>permeability<\/jats:italic>) in both ASD groups compared to TD children. Moreover, depending on the nature of social interaction, a modulation of interpersonal distance (<jats:italic>flexibility<\/jats:italic>) was observed in TD children, both from the first\u2010 and third\u2010person perspective. Similar findings were found in low\u2010SI but not in high\u2010SI ASD children, in Experiment 1. Conversely, in Experiment 2, no change was observed in both ASD groups. These findings reveal that SI severity and a person's perspective may account for the deficit observed in autism when flexibility, but not permeability, of personal space is considered.
