CANYON -- Dr. Timothy Atchison, associate professor of psychology, and Dr. Leslie Dalton, visiting professor of communication disorders, are looking for volunteers between the ages of 15 and 25 with autism spectrum diagnosis to volunteer for both audiological and cognitive testing.
The research explores a common symptom among autistic spectrum individuals that display hypersensitivity to loud or persistent sounds.
Dalton has identified auditory neural mechanisms tied to the hypersensitivity that could provide a diagnosis and lead to further research for additional information about the disorder.
Individuals between the ages of 15 and 25 interested in more information about volunteering for the autism spectrum research can contact Dr. Atchison at 806-651-2729 or at tatchison@wtamu.edu.
