Electrophysiological Differences in Autism Spectrum Disorder

This study aims to evaluate the auditory brainstem and middle latency responses of children ages 4-10 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and age-matched, neurotypical children in order to investigate a potential biomarker for ASD. Children with ASD will be recruited through the George Washington University Autism & Neurodevelopmental Disorders Institute. Approximately 30 children (15 children with ASD and 15 neurotypical, age-matched children) will be evaluated in person. Data collection will last approximately 30 minutes with an additional 30 minutes allotted for setup, informed consent, instructions, and questions.
