Brain scan

emanningis

Ever had a brain scan done that shows your autistic brain working differently (than other brains)? 

It would be useful to have an entry on autism.org.uk but is there one? Seems there isn't yet.

I'd be curious to find out in which cases the scan is radically different, for example.

And it probably varies for each individual, but along with some regularities as well.

(I don't mean so much for diagnosis, though.)

  • The FMRI scan (functional magnetic resonance imaging) is the best explanation for the "spiky profiles" analysis of different autistic people and the best knock back for the generic "high functioning" label.  I've not had one done and i would be fascinated by it - although as the expression puts it "if it walks like and duck and quacks like a duck" - maybe you don't need a huge expensive machine to tell you it's a duck!
