Симптомы

Spatial reasoning weaknesses also mean they will have great difficulty with organizing themselves and their things. Though they may be obsessively tidy about their own collections of things of interest, be it model cars or Yugioh cards, you cannot just tell them to tidy their room because they will not know where to begin. Their desk or their locker will also be messy, and papers get lost in backpacks.

Синхронизация гаммы

Слабая связь в гамме между задними и фронтальными участками может быть причиной фрагментарного вспоминания событий вместо вспоминания общего контекста. Также это может быть связано с проблемами исполнительных функций, проблемами в социализации и коммуникации (стр. 390):

Weak central coherence refers to a lack of appropriate connectivity between the posterior sensory processing areas of the brain and the more frontal areas that modulate responses to the sensory input ( ‘top-down’ modulation). One result of this dysfunction may be piecemeal recall, rather than a recall that shows an understanding of the total context ( Brock et al., 2002 ). Brock’s group proposed that this could result from a reduction in the integration of specialized local neural networks in the brain caused by a deficit in temporal binding (synchronized high-frequency gamma activity) between local networks. They feel that temporal binding deficits could also contribute to executive dysfunction in autism, and to some of the deficits in socialization and communication.
