Impaired Spatiotemporal Integration in ASD

• it has been suggested that abnormalities multisensory processing seen in some people with ASD may be rooted in impairments in the spatial and/or temporal dimensions (Stevenson et al., 2014; Noel et al., 2016a Via Noel et al., 2018).
• the rational for suggestion comes from the idea that when the brain's integrating multisensory information, It heavily weights, relative timing and physical location of each stimulus from each other, because two stimuli that are close together in timing and location are more likely to have come from the same source ( Meredith et al., 1987; Meredith et al., 1996; Noel & Wallace, 2016, Simon et al., 2017, Murray & Wallace, 2012 Via Noel et al., 2018).
