He mentions people looking at his face to aid in predicting what the ball's trajectory will be.
I wonder what eye tracking data from those with high-functioning autism (or whatever they call what we used to call Aspergers) would reveal, since "face blindness" and the inability to interpret facial expressions are typical hallmarks in those individuals?
That is, do such individuals experience a degradation in coordination in such tasks, and/or related tasks, due to such inabilities?
Or do they make up for it in other ways?
