But, based on his group's research, Dr. Casanova suggests that these microscopic differences in cell organization may not be a defect at all but a step in brain evolution that enables people to truly focus on complex issues facing today's society, such as technology and science. "Evolution is usually depicted as a ladder where one rung follows the next," he said. "It is really more of a bush with sideway branches or improvisations. Variation in the size and number of minicolumns may represent one such improvisation." Today, less than 1 percent of the population is autistic but the numbers have steadily increased since the 1940s when the first figures began being gathered

An interesting article which suggests that certain autistic brain cells are different in size and number and this may be what causes sensory issues and other known autistic traits. It also seems to give the lie to theories that things such as vaccinations cause autism.

This is a very important research that can prove the origins of autism are in fact neurological, and put some stop to all the stupid psychological nonsense and/or other ridiculous theories.
But this can also lead several other researchers to an "early discovery" and abortions of autistics.

I know you've visited the Awares conference, and I know you are not stupid, so how come you didn't notice how he (DOCTOR Manuel Casenove)  tried to deny Einstein's autism?

Do I need to come back and provide a link (thanks for you cues)?

He posted it about 2 years ago, before he could have read the Awares Conference.

I just threw that link onto a blog supporting the mercury poisoning theory. Let them try and debunk this one!!

I just wish that the Mercury theory and other similar quack theories would die a death.
