Ritalin (Methylphenidate), affects the synapse in a way that is similar to amphetamines, however in a more mild manner. It is an agonist to Dopamine and Norepenephrine; neurotransmitters in our brain that regulate arousal and attention. Normally, the transmitter fires the chemical into the synapse. the next transmitter accepts the chemical, sends the signal on, and the chemicals are recycled back into the sending transmitter; a process called "re-uptake". What Ritalin does is it blocks the re-uptake of the neurotransmitter, so more stays in the synapse, therefore creating a stronger signal throughout the brain. When these two neurotransmitters are affected in this way, it causes a feeling of arousal because of the dopamine excess, and mental clarity and focus, because of the noropenephrine excess.
It helps change your brain synapse.

A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
its known as the synapse. Through the synapse is where impulses travel from brain cell to brain cell.
synapse is that junction through which impulse can be transmitted from one neuron to another.
Not likely. Bruising can be caused by abnormal clotting factors. PT and PTT can be measured and if they are nl then the bruising is probably not related to the Ritalin. It would be highly unlikely for Ritalin to affect the PT or PTT. Actually, Ritalin does cause bruising. This is a rare but serious side effect and you should stop taking the drug immediately and contact your doctor. The PT and PTT may show up normal but once the Ritalin is discontinued, the bruising typically stops.
The plural of synapse is synapses.

Ritalin can help increase concentration and attention control in someone who has problems with those things. Some autistic people have problems with attention control; some do not. Ritalin may or may not help those who have problems with attention. Ritalin will not directly affect the symptoms of autism.
