Autism severity rooted in embryonic brain growth, study suggests
Autism severity rooted in embryonic brain growth, study suggests
The severity of autism symptoms is linked to brain overgrowth during early embryonic development, with larger brain cortical organoids correlating with more severe social and cognitive challenges in children with autism.
Some children with autism struggle with profound difficulties in social, language, and cognitive skills and might be non-verbal, while others show significant improvements as they grow older.
Previous studies had suggested that autism has prenatal origins, but no study had definitively linked early brain development with the severity of autism symptoms until now.
A significant finding was that BCOs derived from toddlers with ASD grew substantially larger—about 40% larger—than those derived from neurotypical toddlers.
“Toddlers who had profound autism, which is the most severe type of autism, had the largest BCO overgrowth during embryonic development. Those with mild autism social symptoms had only mild overgrowth.”

The primary author of this toolkit, Rebekah Kitzinger, was diagnosed as an adult. She created this toolkit to share her experiences and the lessons she has learned since receiving her diagnosis.
