Eric Courchesne,Christina M. Karns,H. R. Davis,R. Ziccardi,Ruth A. Carper,Z. D. Tigue,Heather J. Chisum,Pamela Moses,Karen Pierce,Catherine Lord,Alan J. Lincoln,Senia Pizzo,Laura Schreibman,Richard H. Haas,Natacha Akshoomoff,Rachel Y. Courchesne +15 more
TL;DR: Hyperplasia was present in cerebral gray matter and cerebral and cerebellar white matter in early life in patients with autism and normal regulation of brain growth in autism results in early overgrowth followed by abnormally slowed growth.

TL;DR: For example, this paper showed that autistic patients and patients with acquired cerebellar lesions were similarly impaired in a task requiring rapid and accurate shifts of attention between auditory and visual stimuli.

Examining the relationship between executive functions and restricted, repetitive symptoms of Autistic Disorder.
TL;DR: An executive function model consisting of relative strengths and deficits was the best predictor of restricted, repetitive symptoms of autism.

TL;DR: Compared with normal controls, autistic patients and patients with acquired cerebellar lesions were similarly impaired in a task requiring rapid and accurate shifts of attention between auditory and visual stimuli, and neurophysiologic and behavioral evidence rules out motor dysfunction as the cause of this deficit.

Sensorimotor Gating Deficits in Adults with Autism
TL;DR: Adults with AD have sensorimotor gating deficits similar to other neurodevelopmental disorders, implicating a failure of normal inhibitory regulation of sensory, motor, and attentional mechanisms.
