A study by the researchers from the San Diego State University reveals that the connections of the brains of people who are suffering from an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is symmetrical compared from people who do not experience autism. The subjects of the findings are younger people who have autism.
The result of the findings reveals that the proportion of the patient's hemisphere, both left and right, is the reason why the way how people with autism thinks and deals with things differs from what people without ASD are capable of doing. This further explains why ASD patients could identify a specific detail into something, however, cannot put the same in a broader perspective.
Based on a report by Science Alert, the researchers from San Diego State University elucidated that the two hemispheres of a person's brain have different ways on how they perform their individual tasks and process information. The research has also revealed that the left hemisphere of the human brain has more to do on the processing of language as well as speaking while the other hemisphere is the one assigned on processing the brain's visual and auditory spurs.
Since it has been made clear how a person with autism's way of thinking and processing of information differs on how a person without the disorder do, this research could let us appreciate the persons who suffer from autism and understand the way how special these patients are.
In a report by Spasique, Ralph-Axel Müller, who is among the researchers who conducted the study, explained that the point behind the brain's asymmetry is to identify how labor is distributed in the left and right hemispheres of the brain. He added that based on their research, it become visible that the brain connections in the brain of persons with autism affect the partition of labor in their brains.
However, the said research has only touched a small number of participants. Hence, the scan could never be considered applicable to each and every patient who has an autism spectrum disorder unless it will be tested on group with larger number of participants and of are different ages.
