Autistic neurology describes the common characteristics people with Autism experience that stem from shared differences in neurology, or how the brain and nervous system work together. Research has shown that Autistic people have a wide variety of differences in their brains related to size and structure, the connectivity between certain regions, and in the ways neurons fire or activate in response to stimuli. These differences impact the way that individuals interact and make sense of the world around them. Interested in learning more?
