'People with autism have stronger connections between brain cells'

I wasn't certain about posting this, but thought people might be interested - even if just for the Reply to it left at the end.

I dislike the language of 'impairments', and the distinction the author seems to be making between 'mentally healthy' patients and autistic ones.

Be interested in others' thoughts and opinions...

People with autism 'have stronger connections between brain cells, making it harder for them to switch off.'

    The article seems weird. Neither the EEG or fMRI studies measure activity between "brain cells". Seems like the reporter doesn't have good enough scientific training and is jumping to conclusions from indirect measures.
