Abstract

The cognitive and brain basis of autism and what is different about the brains of autistic individuals are the focus of this chapter. Emphasis is placed on scientific knowledge about how the brain connects with behavior to inform educational and therapeutic practices. The authors examine: (a) current theories relating to primary differences in thinking, perception and emotion regulation; (b) advantages and challenges of how autistic individuals process information; (c) development and significance of new brain imaging technology (fMRI); and (d) implications for developing interventions that accommodate and enhance brain development.
