Nine eye-movement metrics were extracted per task and analysed with mixed-effects ANOVAs; false-discovery-rate control (q\u2009=\u2009.05) and Holm\u2013Bonferroni corrections were applied across 54 planned tests.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Across all tasks, the ASD group showed a 29% reduction in total fixation time (F\u2009=\u200911.13, q\u2009&lt;\u2009.001;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>Holm<\/jats:sub>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001\u2020), a 19% reduction in fixation count (F\u2009=\u20095.88, q\u2009=\u2009.027), and 42% fewer saccades (F\u2009=\u200916.06, q\u2009&lt;\u2009.001;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>Holm<\/jats:sub>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001\u2020).
