Why is Studying the Brain Important for Understanding Autism?

In this webinar, David G. Amaral, Ph.D. and Cynthia M. Schumann, Ph.D. talk about the importance of brain tissue research to deepen the understanding of the causes of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. They also provide an overview of how studying the human brain can help develop new and effective treatments to improve the quality of life of individuals with autism and their families. Last, they discuss research on the emotion center of the brain called the amygdala and how this may help understand anxiety in autism.

I might have was asd level 1. Autism canada's screening test says I'm high risk. The range was 30 to 50, and I got 38. I wonder how the brain map looks for asd level 1 in females.

Have you tested 1. Premature Birth
2. Amniotic Sac Leak
3. Pitocin induction
4. Insufficient Birth spacing

And
5. Closely related genes

25% of my genes come from an island, that I was told, had 7 white French families on it, for at least 200 years, that had children with each other.
The island is in the tropics, and newer people live on it now also, (widening the gene pool)

Can you test in Autism
1. Driving ability by brain scan
2. Public speaking by brain scan

That's what I'm Terrible at.
I also think I'd pass out in regular sized stadiums if i'm not by at least 6 people I know.

Can you test that also.
