Autism and increased neuroplasticity

Post Reply New Topic

Alex Plank and a discussion panel claimed that there is evidence to suggest that one common neural feature among autists of all stripes is increased neuroplasticity. I cannot seem to corroborate this however. Can anyone falsify or verify?

Cheers! I obviously didnt look nearly hard enough since I found this articleTMS Study Explores “Brain Plasticity”, Adaptation in Adults with Autism
in around 10 seconds. Intuitively it makes alot of sense that people on the spectrum would have greater neuroplasticity as it forces one tends to spend their life adapting cognitively and neurally to a hostile environment and society. I wonder if its nature or nurture however.

wow dude, first time i watched autism talks. Its so weird you guys talk exactly the way i think. Are you guys going to make new episodes?
