Although, as expected, the mean Autism Spectrum Quotient score was higher in the autism group than the sibling [ANOVA, F 1,76) = 528.0, P < 0.001] and control [ANOVA, F 1,76) = 506.6, P < 0.001] groups, the siblings and control subjects did not differ in terms of mean Autism Spectrum Quotient [ANOVA, F 1,78) = 0.131, P = 0.718].
Where the younger parents are looking for answers, to understand "why?" in terms of autism, our lives have changed dramatically because of one small question.
"I could see how helpful it was for her in terms of understanding the autism in our own domestic situation," said Mitchell.
Second-generation immigrants are an important group for studying the etiology of childhood autism, because parents from different regions may differ in terms of genetic risk, but they may also have been exposed to different levels of environmental risk factors before or after immigration.
The autism community felt somewhat different in terms of wanting the comfort of having the whole space to themselves.
Other mouse models for autism have reported a very different pattern in terms of the structural property of calls.
In sum, we observed marked sex differences within autism in terms of neuroanatomy.
If one explains autism in terms of the opposition between 'mechanistic and mentalistic cognition', then children with autism perceive the social world as if they are behaviorists or ethologists since they possess only the 'mechanistic mode of cognition'.
First, participants were classified in terms of the DSM-IV categories low-functioning autism (n = 21), high-functioning autism (n = 24), Asperger's syndrome (n = 21), and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS; n = 20).
Structural and functional MRI makes it possible to investigate unaffected relatives of individuals with autism to determine the neural basis of the broader phenotype of autism in terms of atypical neuroanatomy and brain function.
