    Abstract

    Background: sensory modulation difficulties are common in children with conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and could contribute to other social and non-social symptoms. Positing a causal role for sensory processing differences requires observing atypicalsensory reactivity prior to the emergence of other symptoms, which can be achieved through prospective studies. Methods: in this longitudinalstudy, we examined auditory repetition suppression and change detection at 5 and 10-months ininfants with and without Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), a condition associated with higher likelihood of developing ASD. Results: in typically developing infants, suppression to vowel repetition and enhancedresponses to vowel/pitchchangedecreased with ageoverposterior regions, becoming more frontally-specific; age-related change was diminished in the NF1group. Whilst both groups detected changes in vowel and pitch, the NF1group were largely slower to show a differentiated neural response. Auditory responses did not relate to later language but were related to later ASD traits. Conclusions: these findings represent the first demonstration of atypical brain responses to soundsin infants with NF1, and suggests they may relate to the likelihood of later ASD.
