Matt Belmonte - Physiological Studies of Attention in Autism: Implications for Autistic Cognition and Behaviour
(quote of the abstract and emphases have been removed due to a complaint by the author)
Highlights:
slow attentional shifts -> fewer things are perceived (albeit more intensely) -> ritualized behavior
cinema analogy
The author , who has a CS background, is also interested in cultural aspects of the disorder, literature and narrative, and philosophy of science. He has also written a Hofstadterian book, reminescent of Goedel, Escher, Bach. He's an Assistant Prof. at Cornell's Department of Human Development.
Here is a sort of personal biography, and a sort of blog.
