MULTISENSORIAL INTEGRATION IN ASD
MULTISENSORIAL INTEGRATION IN ASD

Summary/Abstract: The present study delves into the intricate sensory processing mechanisms in adolescents and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Through a comprehensive review of existing research and neurophysiological findings, the investigation explores sensory abnormalities, auditory and visual processing, as well as multisensory integration in individuals with ASD. There are profound impact of altered sensory perception on the core symptoms of ASD, shedding light on enhanced accuracy and precision in sensory recall, but also the potential trade-off of increased binding errors. The investigation emphasizes the significance of the McGurk effect as a neural marker for audiovisual deviance detection and the potential alteration of this marker in ASD individuals. By comparing the Multisensory Mismatch Negativity (MMN) responses between ASD and typically developing individuals, the study reveals distinct differences, underscoring the evident multisensory integration challenges in the ASD population. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate neural mechanisms underpinning sensory processing differences in individuals with ASD, offering insights into the fundamental perceptual characteristics of the disorder.
