Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of
neurodevelopmental disorders with language-communication
deficit as one of the core symptoms. Patients with
high-functioning autism show worse performance than
neurotypicals in complex language tasks such as
comprehension and inference. According to previous
studies, attention impairments are the key cognitive
deficits leading to autism symptomatology, including
language deficits. In this study, we found dual pathways
involved not only language but also attention in ASD,
suggesting that the roles of the dual pathways differ
between neurotypicals and ASD.
