Neurobiology of Autism

title The Reshaping of the Neurobiology of Autism
description In the keynote address from the 2007 Summer Institute on Neurodevelopmental Disorders, neurologist Nancy Minshew discusses how and why autism is a multisystems disorder, how it's diagnosed, and functioning. She rambles a bit (admittedly sleep deprived) but it's a very good talk that includes some funny moments and practical advice for caregivers. (She runs a Center for Excellence in autism, is highly regarded in her field and has over 20 years experience, but vaccine conspiracy theorist alties have rabidly smeared her online and off. She is angrily attacked during the Q&A here too.)
