• Why the frontal cortex in autism might be talking only to itself: local over-connectivity but long-distance disconnection. (2005, background): “Even within the first years of life, infants with autism show some signs of frontal lobe dysfunction, including abnormalities in social attention and a failure to show the normal trajectory of speech and nonspeech communication development [8–13].”
• Automated vocal analysis of naturalistic recordings from children with autism, language delay, and typical development (2010, background): “Aberrations of voice have been noted from the first descriptions of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) (20, 21); subsequent research has added evidence of abnormalities of prosody (10, 22–25) and articulatory features affecting rhythm/syllabicity (11, 26).”
• Early Social Interaction Project for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders Beginning in the Second Year of Life (2006, background): “During the first behavior sample, the Systematic Observation of Red Flags of ASD (SORF; Wetherby et al., 2004) indicated significant red flags for ASD for that child, and he or she received a provisional clinical diagnosis of ASD; 3.”
• Mapping early brain development in autism. (2007, positive): “…of autism may appear between 1 and 2 years of age and largely involve abnormalities in social attention, language development, and emotional reactivity (Landa and Garrett-Mayer, 2006; Wetherby et al., 2004; Zwaigenbaum et al., 2005), and the diagnosis of autism is commonly made by 2–4 years of age.”
