Yes. Autistic brains generally have more connections on the small scale; those of people without autism will have more large-scale connections. That makes sense--autistic people are often very detail-oriented.

∙ 15y agoA child with autism will not be able to communicate the same way, he may also 'stim' which can be vocal *just noise* to movement stims *arm flapping is a pretty common one, as well as walking around in circles. A child with autism also may not play with toys, but like play with the door handle instead, or may just hold something and roll the wheels of a car I hope this helps a little bit
