Language development is a neurobiological process to communicate with each other. Delay in speech language and social communication is one of the early warning signs of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Children with ASD have impairments, in interpreting the communication intention of others.
Research says the Brain Activity of Autistic kids displays Unique Patterns
The brain areas that have been associated with social communication and interaction are referred to as the “Social brain areas”. (Middle temporal gyrus, amygdala fusiform gyrus). Social brain areas play a pivotal role in social cognition and interaction. And abnormal activities in these areas are associated with the clinical manifestation of ASD.
Language processing impairments in ASD have a heterogeneous range from absence of communication to high-order communication such as: – pragmatic language deficits. Several studies proposed that aberrant activations in Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area may play a critical role in impaired language processing in ASD.
