Significance Descriptions of impaired coherent motion perception in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) underlie theories that individuals with ASD have difficulty integrating local “parts” into a global percept. This notion maintains widespread influence and motivates recent theories of defective multisensory integration in ASD. However, heightened sensitivity to sensory noise, used to manipulate task difficulty in predominant visual motion stimuli, may provide an alternative explanation for impaired performance. Here we indeed found increased sensitivity in ASD to sensory noise. Noiseless motion perception and multisensory integration (even with noise) were unimpaired. These findings question prevalent theories of global and multisensory integration deficits in ASD. Rather, they suggest increased reliance on—and sensitivity to—incoming sensory information and less use of prior knowledge in ASD.

Self-motion perception in autism is compromised by visual noise but integrated optimally across multiple senses
