I didn't really there had been this type of research that had been done on the brain.

I hope you mean interesting seeing how ignorant autism researchers used to be. Convincing people that by looking at autistic brains they can find a way to cure autism and make people normal. What shocks me more is the comment section, containing comments only a month old describing how autism is caused by vaccines. My favourite comment was "I hope you get autism, find out how hard it is and then die"

Frightens me, but does not shock me. The vaccines cause it comments are in the vast,vast majority of comment sections on autism related topics I have read, and I read them a lot. Outside of WP "cure" is not used. "Recover people who have autism" is the phrasing commonly used by the vaccine and other "cureabees" these days. At age 56 what I hate reading all time is" If autism has always been here where are all the autistic adults?
