Atypical perceptual and neural processing of emotional prosodic changes in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Deficient social communication skills, narrow interests, and repetitive behavior are the main diagnostic features of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (APA, 2013). Some individuals with ASD show significant delays and abnormalities in their language development (later referred to as children with ASD (LI) in this article), whereas some individuals with ASD show rather typical formal language development (later referred to as children with ASD (no LI)) (WHO, 1993; Rapin and Dunn, 2003; Gillberg and Coleman, 2000).
