Samenvatting

Autisme Spectrum Stoornis (ass) is een sterk genetisch bepaalde, neurobiologische ontwikkelingsstoornis, die wordt gekenmerkt door verschillende afwijkingen in het gedrag. Deze gedragskenmerken zijn onder te verdelen in drie categorieën: atypische sociale interactie, beperkte communicatieve vaardigheden en stereotype gedragingen. Het besef groeit dat, naast deze afwijkende cognitieve karakteristieken, mensen met ass ook atypische perceptuele vaardigheden hebben, zoals het versterkt waarnemen van details en, daarmee samenhangend, het minder goed waarnemen van globale gehelen (Dakin & Frith, 2005; Happé & Frith, 2006). Ondanks dat ass een biologische oorsprong heeft, is er nog geen vaststaande neurobiologische verklaring gevonden voor de afwijkende visuele waarneming bij ass. In dit artikel worden twee studies beschreven die een eerste aanzet geven voor een duidelijk omschreven, neurale oorzaak voor afwijkende visuele waarneming bij mensen met ass.
