Some Interesting research just published by folk at De Montfort University. They compared brains scans of autistic people with non-autistic people and the results suggest that ‘autistic brains may use alternative neural strategies that we’ve only just begun to understand. . . . Autism has traditionally been seen by science as a deficit compared to non-autistic individuals. Our findings suggest it's not necessarily a deficit at all. Instead, they point toward a different form of brain organisation, one that may reflect diverse ways of thinking, rather than dysfunction.’ (DMU News)
Their paper has been published in brain sciences: ‘Wired Differently? Brain Temporal Complexity and Intelligence in Autism Spectrum Disorder’.
