the boy whose brain could unlock autism

Hotel california

Just found this article via Google.  If you type in "the boy whose brain could unlock autism" there is an interesting article written by a Neuro scientist and his research into autism.

Welcome others thoughts on this article.

  • I took my username from that particular theory, because I liked it so much.  Being no scientist, I couldn't pull it apart or applaud it with a scientific eye, it just seemed to make such a lot of sense for me and what I have read about others on the spectrum.

    I think like any theory, it needs fine-tuning and it could be that some aspects are right and some are wrong, or needing revision.

    It could also be, that it explains a part of autism, but if autism involves multiple genes, it only explains some of those genetic influences.

    I don't think it explains hyposensitive autistic people either, it only explains hypersensitive autistic people.  But I do think there is something in it, so perhaps it's a part theory rather than a well-rounded one.
