A Psycho-physiological Investigation in Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Federico Pozzo*

Many autistic people express intense sensory overload as well as high levels of anxiety. Understanding how these events are linked can help provide better assistance and intervention for people suffering from sensory overload and anxiety. Trustworthiness judgments have been linked to neural regions involved in social cognition. In those with autism spectrum disorders, these areas are also functionally abnormal (ASDs). A growing body of research suggests that co-occurring alexithymia is at the root of some aspects of the social-emotional issues that plague people with autism spectrum disorder. The purpose of autism research is to better understand neurocognitive pathways in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). But, studying young children with ASD or other neurodevelopmental disorders in rigorous experimental settings can present a number of practical and ethical issues. The focus of this research is on psycho-physiological studies in young people with autism spectrum disorders.
