Sensory and Autism - Differences in Brain Wiring

Today is a good day for research results. Here is a science digest synopsis of research showing that sensory and autism issues can be distinguished from each other using MRI DTI techniques. The entire article is open access and can be found here.

Food Intolerances; Brain Inflammation

Autism Speaks Science Digest is a great source for keeping track of research findings that affect the day-to-day lives of parents of children with autism. This issue had two interesting articles I'd like to share with you. The first talks about food intolerances and behaviors. The second is about brain inflammation and autism.

You can subscribe to the digest to an email version that shows up twice a month in your mailbox.
