Associations between duration of time spent on eyes at 6 months and Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) expressive language T scores at 18 months for Low-risk Controls (LRC) and High-risk Autism with no diagnosis (HRA-) after partialling out MSEL nonverbal developmental quotient. In HRA-, a significant negative association was found (p = .007), with greater attention to eyes relating to worse MSEL expressive language scores a year later. No significant relation between these variables was found for LRC (p = .96).
