Figure 3

A hypothetical model. Illustration of our hypothetical model on the impact of developmental delays in sensory processing on the later development of higher-order functions in people with ASD. From a developmental perspective, multisensory integration is thought to partly underlie social cognition, which in turn underlies social interactions and functioning. Thus, if treatment can promote the development of multisensory integration in individuals with ASD, it may improve social cognition, core symptoms, and social functioning. ASD, autism spectrum disorder.
