The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake in CI values in Table 2.

For Looking preference (ratio), the 90% CI of estimate should be with a minus sign − 0.15, − 0.03.

For Human activity preference (ratio), the 90% CI of estimate should be with a minus sign − 0.30, − 0.08.

The correct Table 2 is given below.

Estimate refers to estimated mean differences between ASD and HC derived from an analysis of Covariance model

P values less than 0.00094 are considered statistically significant after multiplicity adjustment

aCategories in each task (e.g. Activity, Background) refers to the time spent looking at this aspect of the visual scene in relation to the overall looking time
