“…For example, there is some evidence of reduced processing speed in ASD (Hedvall et al, 2013; Travers et al, 2014), which has been associated with white matter structural integrity (Lazar et al, 2014; Travers et al, 2014), frontal lobe volume (Schmitz et al, 2007), communication (Oliveras-Rentas et al, 2012), and adaptive functioning (Hedvall et al, 2013). Other studies, however, have failed to identify significant differences in processing speed for participants with ASD relative to typically developing peers (Scheuffgen et al, 2000; Wallace et al, 2009), particularly when motor demands are minimized (Kenworthy et al, 2013).…”
