Auditory Brainstem Responses in Autism: Brainstem Dysfunction or Peripheral Hearing Loss?

Klin, Ami

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v23 n1 p15-35 Mar 1993

A review of 11 studies of auditory brainstem response (ABR) in individuals with autism concludes that the ABR data are only suggestive (rather than supportive) of brainstem involvement in autism. The presence of peripheral hearing impairment was observed in some of the autistic individuals. (Author/DB)
