QUESTION 1: WHAT NEUROIMAGING TECHNOLOGY IS USED TO ASSESS THE SIZE AND VOLUME OF CERTAIN BRAIN AREAS IN PEOPLE WITH AUTISM?

QUESTION 2: WHAT MEASURE OF BRAIN ACTIVITY ALLOWS RESEARCHERS TO MAP BRAIN AREAS ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS IN PEOPLE WITH AUTISM?

That all people with autism have the same brain size
That the size and volume of brain areas do not vary in people with autism
Differences in the size and volume of certain brain areas, such as the cerebellum and the amygdala
That people with autism have larger brains than the general population

It has no advantage in the diagnosis of autism
Allows identification of autism symptoms without the need for other methods
Provides early biomarkers for diagnosis, enabling early interventions that maximize brain development
Used only to assess the progress of interventions
