Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and autopsy evidence of early maldevelopment of cerebellar vermis and hemispheres in autism raises the question of how cerebellar maldevelopment contributes to the cognitive and social deficits characteristic of autism. Compared with 18 normal controls, 8 autistic patients (mean age 13.9 yrs) and 6 patients (mean age 8.6 yrs) with acquired cerebellar lesions were similarly impaired in a task requiring rapid and accurate shifts of attention between auditory and visual stimuli. Neurophysiologic and behavioral evidence rules out motor dysfunction as the cause of this deficit. These findings are consistent with the proposal that in autism cerebellar maldevelopment may contribute to an inability to execute rapid attention shifts, which in turn undermines social and cognitive development. Findings support the proposal that the human cerebellum is involved in the coordination of rapid attention shifts in a fashion analogous to its role in the coordination of movement.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
