[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 695038, member: 1963"] Actually, one thing we do know about the autistic brain is that the symptoms are in part caused by a "wiring issue". From birth up to about 3 years of age, the developing brain spends a lot of time removing excess neurons and pruning unnecessary connections. This basically gets rid of a lot of "radio noise" and drastically speeds up communications within the brain. Autistic children's brains either do not do the cleanup at all, or do not do it properly. It is thought that the excess neurons and connections are part of the reason autistics usually have head sizes near the upper end of the scale. Once the initial "configuration" is done, new neurons and connections are made in accordance with the body's and environment's demands. This process is mostly complete (frontal lobes last) by the mid to late 20s. [/QUOTE]
