Note. Clinician-scientist experts did not provide feedback on the social attention paradigm as this was adapted from our prior eye tracking investigations and the stimuli for this paradigm had already received prior input from clinician-scientist experts in their development. Specific qualitative feedback is not included but was used to improve the administration flow and provide better instructions to the parent facilitating the administration.
