Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder（ASD）is a neurodevelopmental disorder with unknown etiology，and the prevalence of ASD is on the rise worldwide.Studies have found that patients with ASD have abnormal cognitive function，and objective cognitive detection tools can provide an effective method to explore the functional defects of patients with ASD.Event-related potential（ERP），which can reflect the nerve electrophysiological change in the cognitive processing of the brain，have been widely applied in the study of ASD patients in recent years due to its high temporal resolution advantage，showing a great application prospect.This article reviews the clinical application of ERP in children with ASD，in order to reveal the functional defects of ASD children from the perspective of nerve electrophysiology，and provide a reference for the assessment and even early screening of ASD.
