Motor Synchrony & Autism in Adults
The purpose of the motor synchrony and autism project is to describe how autistic and non-autistic adults move, communicate. We're hoping to look at differences between same neurotype (e.g., autistic + autistic / non-autistic + non-autistic) and mixed neurotype (i.e., autistic + non-autistic) groups as well. Ultimately, we want to see how adults control their behaviors to think about how to best help kids be in better control of themselves, so we can design interventions that help autistic children do the things they want to do.

Participants will (some of this is video recorded):
*Complete a screener survey
*Participate on day 1: Complete some simple walking tasks, computer tasks, free IQ test
*Participate on day 2 in groups: Complete the same walking tasks with a partner twice, have a conversation with two people Participants are compensated up to $50 for completing the screener survey.
Participants are all compensated $75 upon completion of day 2 if selected!
