Autism Spectrum Disorder children interaction skills measurement using computer games

This paper describes a work in progress focused on establishing an adapted serious game which is used to evaluate the social competences in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) between 5 and 8 years old. This type of children has difficulties to interact with other people. Objective measurements obtained by the eye tracker and the serious game demonstrate the differences between ASD children and control children in eye fixation time, or the reaction time, among others. The use of serious games therapy is an attractive option to improve skills and measure the evolution in children with ASD.
