Is there a specific reason the study focusses on children ? As an autistic adult it often feels like we don’t exist, most resources and research seem to focus exclusively on autistic children, as if it just disappears when we grow up.
- SubiculumCode 5y agoI've heard that there is more of a dearth of autism research in adults when it comes to behavioral interventions, however, the vast majority of autism MRI research actually occurs with adolescent and adult participants actually. Our research begins as early as two year old because this is a period of profound brain development, development that has life long implications. Research strongly suggests that interventions that occur early have the largest impact...because they are still developing and open to changing the course of development.
