Left hemispheric deficit in the sustained neuromagnetic response to periodic click trains in children with ASD

ConclusionChildren with ASD demonstrate atypical processing of spectrally complex periodic sound at the level of the core auditory cortex of the left-hemisphere. The observed neural deficit may contribute to speech perception difficulties experienced by children with ASD, including their poor perception and production of linguistic prosody.
