AB  - It has been suggested that children with autism orient towards audiovisual 
      synchrony (AVS) rather than biological motion and that the opposite pattern is to 
      be expected in typical development. Here, we challenge this notion by showing 
      that 3-year-old neurotypical children orient to AVS and to biological motion in 
      point-light displays but that 3-year-old children with autism orient to neither 
      of these types of information. Thus, our data suggest that two fundamental 
      mechanisms are disrupted in young children with autism: one that supports 
      orienting towards others' movements and one that supports orienting towards 
      multimodally specified events. These impairments may have consequences for 
      socio-cognitive development and brain organization.
