Manual Action. (A–D) Each individual is represented by a circle. The group mean is represented by the solid line, and the standard error is represented by the dotted lines. (A). Groups did not differ on the proportion of the play session that each child spent manually acting on toys. (B) Groups did not differ on the number of unique toys (in the set of 24) that each child manually acted upon. (C) Children with ASD generated more manual actions on toys per minute compared to their TD peers and (D) they generated shorter actions. (E–F) Each individual is represented by a thin line. The bold lines represent the group means, and the shaded region represents the standard error. (E) The x-axis is the session time in seconds, and the y-axis is the cumulative unique number of manually acted upon toys. There were no differences between groups in the rate of manually acting on previously un-acted on toys. (F). The x-axis is the rank ordered toy and the y-axis is the proportion of the session spent manually acting on that toy. There were no differences between groups in the amount of the session spent manually acting on any of the toys, in rank order.
