 My comment is more of a question to ponder. What if the extra nerotransmiters that seem to develope in the brain of autitic people are the actual cause of it, and it's variations? Meaning if they each develope different pathways that are extra, that may not go anywhere produtive, or anywhere at all. Could these cause the brain to short circut its self? Or possible slow down the normal connections in such a way that they get lost?

 It would appear, from my perspective on the front-line, assessing and treating children with autism, that these children have varying deficits in "putting it all together." When it is all in "working order," we take for granted the seamless integration of sensation and emotion that constitute our awareness of each moment. I would propose that autism is a disorder of this process with absent connection between sensory reception and association in its most severe form
