Increased research in the basic biology of social knowledge may help to find better treatments for autism.
This review article highlights the latest science on the brain and autism. A lot of current research focuses on differences between the brains of people with autism and those without autism. Most treatments for autism are either behavioral such as applied behavior analysis (ABA) or educational.
