Communication, autism quotient and auditory brainstem response

Abstract

T�e auditory pat�way as a neurobiolo�ical mec�anisms involved in autism can be evaluated by evoked potentials. T�e objective o�� t�is study was to estimate t�e auditory brainstem response o�� t�e pulse click�� considerin� t�e latency o�� waves I�� III and V; t�e interpeaks I-III�� I-V�� III-V and t�e amplitude o�� t�e wave V�� and relate t�em wit� t�e ��ormal and pra�matic aspects o�� communication and the autism quotient. The results showed that there are significant differences between the auditory brainstem response o�� t�e autistic �roup and t�e control �roup. Furt�ermore�� in t�e adolescent autistic �roup t�e latency o�� wave V and t�e interpeak I-V would be t�e indexes t�at would reac� to predict t�e autism quotient.

How auditory processing influences the autistic profile - a review

“…Auditory processing is critical in social and communication skills (Baquerizo Sedano et al, 2017;Bathelt et al, 2017;Chang et al, 2014;Matsuzaki et al, 2019). Moreover, autistic people can have challenges processing, filtering, and ignoring irrelevant background sounds (Davies, 2019;Keehn et al, 2016;Poole et al,2018), with potential implications for social communication, particularly during dynamic interactions such as conversations.…”
