MRI showd ASD brains and SPD brains wired differently

Exciting new study finds MRIs can distinguish brains with autism vs. brains with sensory processing disorder. May result in better therapies for both. Please see story on the Bioscience Technology website called "Autism, SPD Hit Different Brain Areas"

What if someone has both?

And another type of scan shows autism and aspergers are NOT the same...

I love new tech, it seems to come up with things I already knew.

all i know is life can be a challenge regardless of the reason behind it or the tag put on it
but it is still very cool that they can see how brains work

What is aspergers than? Doesn't really seem there is really any very clear distinguishment between that, aside from scans indicating perhaps there are differences in the brain...then again maybe different severity levels account for the differences in the brain scans, or maybe not all autism is caused by the exact same brain wiring since everyones brain is slightly different anyways...

but you never know I guess I am just skeptical they are two entirely seperate disorders.

I think we have to wait for more research but I do believe they are two different things. I think the few things we know to separate them are just the tip of the iceberg.

Hard to say if they aren't the same condition then they are at least very similar that is for sure....or it really is just varying levels/severities of the same thing. Both seem possible to me...but just keep my eye out for latest brain research to see what it shows.
