Study Finds Young Autistic Children Naturally Consider Others’ Visual Perspectives
New research indicates that young autistic children naturally take others' visual perspectives, showing preserved or heightened social sensitivity rather than reduced engagement.
New Insights Into Neuroglial Changes in Autism from Preclinical Research
A recent correction in preclinical research sheds light on neuroglial changes in autism, emphasizing the complex role of brain support cells in ASD.
Recent Insights into Genetic and Environmental Influences on Autism
New research highlights ongoing efforts to differentiate genetic and environmental influences on autism, offering insights for families and professionals.
Study Reveals How Sex and IQ Influence Social Attention Differences in Autism
A new study finds that social attention differences in autism vary by sex and cognitive ability, with autistic females and children with lower IQ showing greater reductions in gaze to faces.
New Research Highlights Sleep’s Essential Role in Long-Term Memory Formation and Potential Links to Autism
