Abstract

Differences in audiovisual integration are commonly observed in autism. Temporal binding windows (TBWs) of audiovisual speech can be trained (i.e., narrowed) in non-autistic adults; this study evaluated a computer-based perceptual training in autistic youth and assessed whether treatment outcomes varied according to individual characteristics. Thirty autistic youth aged 8–21 were randomly assigned to a brief perceptual training (n = 15) or a control condition (n = 15). At post-test, the perceptual training group did not differ, on average, on TBWs for trained and untrained stimuli and perception of the McGurk illusion compared to the control group. The training benefited youth with higher language and nonverbal IQ scores; the training caused widened TBWs in youth with co-occurring cognitive and language impairments.

There are currently ongoing, complex discussions regarding the use of person-first language (e.g., individuals with autism, individuals with ASD) versus identity-first language (e.g., autistic individuals; see Robison 2019). Clinicians and researchers tend to prefer person-first language, while many autistic individuals and their allies prefer and advocate for identity-first language (e.g., Gernsbacher 2017; Kenny et al., 2016). In keeping with current recommendations (Bottema-Beutel et al., 2021), we have opted to use identity-first language.
