The integration of prosodic speech in high functioning autism: a preliminary FMRI study.
<h4>Background</h4>Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a specific triad of symptoms such as abnormalities in social interaction, abnormalities in communication and restricted activities and interests. While verbal autistic subjects may present a correct mastery of th...
