While the definition of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) does not include any
explicit criteria concerning difficulties of time perception or management,
there is growing evidence of atypical temporal perception in individuals with
ASD. This review synthesizes the evidence and gaps of the current literature on
time processing in ASD. After a brief overview of clinical findings and
available assessment tools, we synthetize outcomes of studies evaluating time
perception at second and infra-second level, and then, recent literature on the
circadian timing system. Findings point that all levels of time processing are
atypical in autism (i.e. millisecond, interval and circadian timing). We discuss
how time perception abnormalities and ASD core symptoms might intertwine and
offer a new perspective for future research on this topic. We advocate the need
to systematically assess temporal perception in ASD, and to include these
aspects in global functional assessments before intervention. Implementing early
intervention techniques to remediate time perception alterations in children
with ASD may substantially improve their developmental trajectory.
