Since pragmatic language is localised at a cerebral level, is there a region of the brain responsible for analogue language (deficient in the autistic population)?
There is no specific language region which could be deemed responsible for the language abnormalities seen in autism. Several areas in the brain are probably involved in autism such as the cerebellum, the parietal lobe, the corpus callosum, etc. However, we do not have direct brain behaviour connections whereby we could assign a particular behavioural or cognitive deficit to a particular dysfunction of a localised brain area.
