Abstract
The present case study utilizes neuropsychological procedures, quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify neural substrates of “autism” in a 25 year old Caucasian male. A priori hypotheses formed from a neuropsychological evaluation were supported by data from QEEG and MRI. Specifically, the neuropsychological evaluation was suggestive of left anterior deactivation and right frontal activation. Consistent with these results, QEEG data revealed relative activation of the right frontal region, while MRI results were suggestive of multiple small focal areas over the left frontal region and a teardrop shaped area of low attenuation across the right frontal region. The possible relation of right cerebral dysfunction and autism is discussed.
