Event-related brain potentials (ERP) elicited by visual and auditory stimuli were recorded from nonretarded individuals with autism (ages 13-25 yr) and age-matched normal controls. In "no-task" conditions, subjects simply looked at or listened to these stimuli; only 1 difference was found between subject groups. Several ERP differences between groups were found in "task" conditions; subjects pressed a button at the occurrence of target stimuli intermixed with unexpected, novel stimuli and also with expected, nonnovel stimuli. Visual ERP abnormalities in the autistic group differed from auditory abnormalities. Nonretarded autistic individuals may have a limited capacity to process novel information.sbd.they are neither hypersensitive to novel information nor misperceive it as nonnovel and insignificant. Classification of simple visual information may be less impaired than auditory. With 1 exception, visual and auditory ERP abnormalities do not seem to reflect maturational delay.
