Motivation
Autistic children often face challenges in future thinking and social cognition. Yet, most existing tasks that measure these abilities are highly structured and language-heavy. The goal is to investigate spontaneous behavior in children with autism.

Children may
- not act at all
- act, or act slowly
- show awareness (HRV), even without acting
Impact
