“…Recent studies of auditory sensory physiology at the level of the brainstem indicate normal functioning in approximately 67-77% of autistic individuals as measured by I-V wave interval of the auditory brainstem-evoked response (ABR) (e.g., Gillberg, Rosenhall, & Johansson, 1983). If this level (67-77%) of normal brainstem response were predictive or deterministic of N1 amplitude, we would not have found a statistically significant N1 effect with only nine subjects.…”

Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) elicited by visual and auditory stimuli were recorded from nonretarded individuals with autism (ages 13-25 years) and age-matched normal controls. In "no-task" conditions, subjects simply looked at or listened to these stimuli; only one difference was found between subject groups. Several ERP differences between groups were found in "task" conditions; subjects pressed a button at the occurrence of target stimuli intermixed with unexpected, novel stimuli and also with expected, nonnovel stimuli. Visual ERP abnormalities in the autistic group differed from auditory abnormalities. Results suggest that (1) nonretarded autistic individuals may have a limited capacity to process novel information--they are neither hypersensitive to novel information nor misperceive it as nonnovel and insignificant; (2) classification of simple visual information may be less impaired than auditory; and (3) with one exception, visual and auditory ERP abnormalities do not seem to reflect maturational delay.

“…While there have been many studies using the ABR to characterize hearing and auditory function in individuals with AD, fi ndings have been mixed to date. Several investigators have reported prolongations in clickevoked ABR wave latencies and/or interpeak intervals (IPI) in children and adults with AD (Tanguay et al, 1982;Gillberg et al, 1983;Wong & Wong, 1991;Maziade et al, 2000;Tas et al, 2007;Kwon et al, 2007), however others report no group differences (Rumsey et al, 1984;Courchesne et al, 1985;Tharpe et al, 2006).…”

Efforts to correlate peripheral neurophysiologic function with perceptional deficits seen in autistic disorder (AD) have resulted in mixed findings, reflecting the high degree of heterogeneity observed in these individuals. We used the auditory brainstem response to study the effect of stress (high click presentation rate) on the auditory system in 20 children with AD (7-13 years) and 20 age-matched typically developing (TD) children. We report latency prolongations in children with AD vs. TD at waves I, III, and V that differed by ear of presentation: overall, left ear showed significant prolongations by group while right ear did not. The 'stressed' condition produced prolongations for both groups at each wave. At wave V, children with AD showed significant prolongations vs. TD, particularly for the right ear. For children with AD, wave V latency prolongations corresponded to language outcome as measured by VIQ, with longer prolongations associating with lower VIQ. Preliminary results provide evidence for reduced synaptic efficiency in auditory pathways in children with AD, which may form the neural bases for sensory reactivity and language impairment.

“…Although the absolute latencies can be influenced by peripheral hearing loss, the interpeak latencies are generally accepted as measures of central neural conduction time and are influenced by myelination of nerve fibers [11].…”
