New research by neuroscientists takes the first step toward deciphering the connection between general brain function and the emergent behavioral patterns in autism. The study shows that autistic adults have unreliable neural sensory responses to visual, auditory and somatosensory, or touch, stimuli. This poor response reliability appears to be a fundamental neural characteristic of autism.
