Autistic patients’ brains have less communication between regions, study finds | The Salt Lake Tribune

Autistic patients’ brains have less communication between regions, study finds The Salt Lake Tribune: "There is no definitive diagnostic test for autism. Instead, doctors ask questions and observe children to see if they have difficulty communicating and interacting with others.
Those imprecise measures can make the neurological disorder hard to identify, delaying the diagnosis.
Hoping to speed detection, and thus treatment, and distinguish between types of autism, Utah researchers have been scanning the brains of autistic boys and men and comparing them with those without the disorder."
