Variances in Brain Waves in Autistic Teens

Researchers
at Macquarie University have found variances in the brain waves responsible for
visual perception between autistic teenagers and those without autism. This finding
may help in early diagnosis and in providing support to young people with
autism. The researchers focused on sensory areas of the brain as a number of
people with autism generally report issues with processing incoming sensory
information, often suffering from hypersensitivity. Dr Robert Seymour,
post-doctoral research fellow said that the results may explain why 90% of the
autistic individuals report atypical sensory responses to visual stimuli.
