This cluster looks at how the wires inside the brain grow differently in kids with autism. Scientists use big machines to see that, during rest or while doing tasks, the brain parts talk too much or too little to each other. These odd talking patterns link to stronger sensory issues, harder school work, and more social trouble. A BCBA can use these facts to pick learning games that fit each child’s brain and to explain why some skills take longer to stick.
