Researchers have uncovered unique brain connectivity patterns in six-week-old infants at a higher risk for developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study suggests that these early brain differences might contribute to the later emergence of ASD-related behaviors by affecting the typical development of social skills. These findings, published in Nature Communications Biology, suggest that the brain’s response to sensory and social stimuli begins to diverge much earlier than the symptoms of autism can be observed behaviorally. Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental condition character...

A study published in the journal Cellhas established a connection between disturbances in gut flora during the early years of life and the development of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Researchers at the University of Florida and Linköping University have identified biomarkers present at birth that are indicative of future diagnoses of these disorders, offering a new approach to early detection and intervention. Neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ADHD affect millions worldwide, influencing brain...

Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference00166-7?fbclid=IwAR2plqjNc7PoPCl7S0xzWpK_dCLfzaov9rl7u5wBdt8DaOc6lNrCekYp1RY) associated with specific experiences and characteristics\. For decades, autism research has focused on behavioural, cognitive, social and communication difficulties. These studies highlighted how autistic people face issues with everyday tasks that allistic (meaning non-autistic) people do not. Some difficulties may include recognising emotions or social cues. But some research, including our own study, has explored specific advantages in autism. Studies have shown that in som...

Exposure to caffeine during pregnancy, combined with a high-fat diet after birth, significantly increases the risk of autism-like behaviors in rodents, according to new research published in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety. This increased risk is related to changes in gut bacteria and increased levels of a specific immune molecule, IL-17A. The findings shed light on the relationships between diet, prenatal environmental exposures, and neurodevelopmental disorders. The motivation behind this new study stems from a growing concern over the effects of prenatal caffeine exposure and high-fa...

A study in Germany found that autistic adults tend to be more generous towards strangers compared to people without this disorder. In a task where they had to divide money between individuals, they were more prone to split the money equally regardless of how close they felt to the person they were sharing the money with. The research was published in the journal Autism. The abilities to cooperate with others and share resources is one of the hallmarks of human society. It is a trait at the very foundation of the human civilization, so important that scientists studying ancient humans often int...

In a recent scientific paper published in Frontiers in Psychology, a team of Italian researchers have developed an innovative approach to assist individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using a humanoid robot named Pepper, integrated with OpenAI’s advanced conversational artificial intelligence. This novel system aims to enhance social interaction, communication, and cognitive skills for individuals with ASD, offering a promising avenue in therapeutic and educational settings. Autism Spectrum Disorder presents unique challenges to individuals and their families, often requiring tailored...

In a new study published in Cortex, researchers have discovered that autistic adults exhibit a diminished neural response to their own faces compared to neurotypical adults, suggesting unique differences in self-referential processing. This research, using advanced brain imaging techniques, also indicates that these differences are specific to facial recognition and do not extend to how names are processed. Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a complex developmental condition characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and restricted or repetitive beh...

A study in the United Kingdom examined how people rated the performance of a candidate in a mock employment interview. Those who were told that the candidate was diagnosed with autism gave the candidate higher ratings compared to those who did not have this information. The study was published in Autism. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, is a developmental disorder that negatively affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. It presents a wide range of challenges among those affected. Symptoms of autism usually appear in early childhood. They include difficulties in understandin...

A new study published in Scientific Reports demonstrates striking similarities in synaptic abnormalities and behavioral patterns between male and female mouse models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This research challenges the conventional male-centric focus in ASD studies and underscores the vital need to include both sexes in autism research. Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disorder characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and the presence of repetitive behaviors or restricted interests. The symptoms and severity of ASD can vary widely among individual...

A study recent found that the mothers of autistic boys drank over three times more diet sodas during pregnancy than the mothers of non-autistic boys. This difference was absent in mothers of girls. The study was published in Nutrients. Autism spectrum disorder is a category of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. The term “spectrum” reflects the wide variation in symptoms and severity that individuals with autism spectrum disorder can experience. This disorder is typically diagnosed in early childhood, and its ...
