Physiological signals of autistic children can be useful

This article covers the latest research concerning the measurement of physiological signals of children with autism, particularly for the study of changing emotions in various environments. Answers to important questions regarding autistic children´s physiological activity are examined, and we will see that within a non-social environment, physiological responses are the same between children with and without autism but different in environments with social contexts. Moreover, physiological signals can be used as a reliable indicator of emotions of children with autism. Also covered are the latest developments in wearable sensor technologies avail- able for measuring on-the-go. I review additional research that identifies body signals in response to stimuli and may help ex- plain core social deficits in children with autism.
