A study of schoolchildren in Italy found that children with autism and specific learning disorders have more trouble recognizing facial emotions compared to non-diagnosed children. In autistic children, higher social anxiety is associated with better emotion recognition, while in those with learning disorders, higher anxiety is associated with more difficulty recognizing emotions. The research was published in Development and Psychopathology. Being able to recognize the emotional state of another person by looking at his/her face is a crucial ability for social functioning. Many individuals ca...

Researchers from The Australian National University and the University of Queensland have found evidence that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more prone to developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study, published in iScience00969-6), indicates that even mild stress can trigger traumatic memories in those with autism, exacerbating core traits such as repetitive behavior. The research, conducted on mice, identified specific brain mechanisms underlying this heightened stress sensitivity. Autism spectrum disorder is characterized by difficulties in social interact...

A recent study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals that certain genetic traits inherited from Neanderthals may significantly contribute to the development of autism. This groundbreaking research shows that specific Neanderthal genetic variants can influence autism susceptibility, suggesting a link between our ancient relatives and modern neurodevelopmental conditions. The study was motivated by the longstanding curiosity about how archaic human DNA, particularly from Neanderthals, influences modern human health. Homo neanderthalensis, commonly known as Neanderthals, are our closest known...

A recent study reported that children with pronounced autistic traits tend to show lower levels of creativity overall. However, children with high attention to detail, a specific autistic trait, demonstrated better creativity. The research was published in the Journal of Creative Behavior. Autism spectrum disorder, or autism, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how individuals perceive and interact with the world. It is characterized by challenges in social communication and interaction, as well as restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Many people...

A new study published in the journal Autism Research has provided intriguing insights into how individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience touch. Researchers found that people with ASD have lower physiological responses to touch compared to typically developing individuals, but they report higher ratings for both pleasant and unpleasant touch sensations. This discrepancy highlights a complex relationship between subjective experience and physiological response in people with ASD. Touch plays a crucial role in human communication and social interactions, helping to establish and ...

A study in the Netherlands investigated differences in camouflaging between individuals with autism and those with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The results showed that while autism traits are linked to camouflaging, this behavior is not unique to those diagnosed with autism. The paper was published in Autism Research. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by difficulties in social interaction, communication challenges, and restricted, repetitive behaviors. Symptoms typically appear in early childhood and can vary widely in severity an...

Rew research has found that adults with autism report higher rates of various non-communicable medical conditions compared to those without autism. These increased rates of disorders spanned all major organ systems. The paper was published in Molecular Autism. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in social communication and interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Symptoms typically appear in early childhood and can range from mild to severe. Common signs include challenges w...

A recent study reveals that children with autism spectrum disorder exhibit different patterns of attention compared to their neurotypical peers during shared book reading activities. Researchers found that autistic children tend to pay less attention to socially relevant cues, such as the reader’s face and the book, and more attention to nonsocial background objects. These findings have significant implications for understanding social learning and engagement in children with autism and suggest potential pathways for developing supportive interventions. The new research was published in the Jo...

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...
