Atypical Auditory Language Processing in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by a variety of abnormalities in auditory processing, which play an important role in verbal communication. For example, individuals with ASD have shown abnormal auditory perception and processing, including phonological processing deficits (Tuchman et al., 1991; Kjelgaard et al., 2001; Rapin et al., 2009; O'Connor, 2012; Schelinski et al., 2016). Two major approaches have been used to investigate the pathophysiology underlying atypical auditory processing in ASD: structural and functional imaging.
