Parents say the so-called ‘rapid prompting method’ unlocks hidden talents in their minimally verbal autistic children, but researchers question whether the words produced are the child’s own. #SpectrumDeepDive #FromTheArchives https://t.co/qM7V1lJUKw
Growing ranks of researchers on the spectrum are overcoming barriers — from neurotypical bias to sensory sensitivities — to shape autism science. #SpectrumDeepDive #FromTheArchives https://t.co/j0y8DeZGZx
Isolated from their peers, some autistic men get drawn into extremist views — and, in rare cases, violence — associated with online groups for ‘celibates.’ #SpectrumDeepDive #FromTheArchives https://t.co/IGVkhNc7cU
Doctors often conflate autism and intellectual disability, and no wonder: The biological distinction between them is murky.

Aripiprazole, marketed as Abilify, is widely thought to be safer than risperidone, the only other drug approved for use in autistic children. A decade’s worth of data suggests that is not true. #SpectrumDeepDive #FromTheArchives https://t.co/j6Pf66yLgq
CW: Physical and emotional abuse

Some scientists say an immune condition called PANDAS affects as many as 1 in 200 children who have traits similar to those of autism. But many experts contest that figure — and even the condition’s very existence. #SpectrumDeepDive #FromTheArchives https://t.co/Q5BrYuuhCg
Autistic people have long maintained that repetitive behaviors are beneficial. Emerging evidence in support of this idea is shaping new therapies. #SpectrumDeepDive #FromTheArchives https://t.co/rlTb83smjn
