摘要

From birth, vision plays a key role in cognitive and relational development. This raises the question of the role visual deficits and atypicalities may play in the communication and social interaction disorders, stereotyped behaviour, and restricted interests consistently observed in autistic children. Moreover, visual function deficits have been found in autistic children however, they are not necessarily specific to autism but are also observed in other neurodevelopmental disorders of idiopathic, neurological or genetic origin, which emerge early in development and affect cognitive, motor and social domains. In the present paper, we examine the role of vision in children's cognitive and social development, review visual function disorders in autism as well as in other neurodevelopmental conditions, and conclude by highlighting the potential benefits of early screening and managing of visual function disorders in autistic children.
