Auditory-visual misalignment: A theoretical perspective on vocabulary delays in children with ASD.

WHAT IT FOUND

Visual attention differences in children with autism spectrum disorder may make words heard mismatch what is seen, a theoretical commentary proposes.

It reports no new patients or outcomes, so there is no finding to act on.

What this paper is

This is a theoretical commentary, not an original study. It proposes that visual attention differences in children with autism spectrum disorder can cause the words they hear to mismatch what they are looking at, and reviews other studies to support that idea. It reports no methods, participants, or outcomes of its own, so there is no finding to act on.
