Children With Autism 'See' This Optical Illusion in a Unique Way, Experiment Finds

Interesting: Pupillometry reveals perceptual differences that are tightly linked to autistic traits in typical adults

I have done quite a few of these sorts of "optical illusion" recognition tests in the past. Many of these I can switch back and forth and see both images. However, the specific one they presented in this study, all I can see is the rotating cylinder, and not the sliding colors. The "ASD test" in this study was to look at pupil dilation and the timing of the mind to switch back and forth between the images. I didn't have the ability to do it at all, in this case.
 
I remember back when I was a kid. We had a black and white television. It was overwhelming for me when we got a color set. I didn't like all the harsh oranges and greens. I would go into my grandmother's bedroom to watch cartoons on her black and white television set.

I didn't like the cathode monitors either--the color ones. Black & white TV was way before my time but the first (and so far only) TV set I have owned was a cheap 5" Curtis set with a radio.
To answer @Ella Spell I think they were talking about seeing in black and white when looking at motion, and then filling in a monochrome image in colors. That makes sense to me because sometimes (it used to be more when I was little) things did look black and white a bit more. I have tested and am not color blind at all.
 
I can't watch TV documentaries or TV shows with certain special effects - white flashes, flickering, sudden speeding up, static noises or steel on steel noises.
