It’s been a crazy time for me lately so trying to get this demo done for April :Autism Awareness/ Acceptance month has been a challenge, (better late than never I guess)
As a father of a young child with autism I have spent a fair amount of time trying to understand the atypical development of children on the spectrum.
Something interesting to consider about ASD and how brain development can differ in the neurodivergent from the neurotypical is synaptic pruning.
Left autistic synapses right neuro-typical
Synaptic pruning is a natural part of brain development where extra synapses (the connections between neurons) are eliminated. This process helps the brain become more efficient by keeping the important, frequently used connections and removing the weaker, unnecessary ones. Pruning happens most actively during early childhood and adolescence.
Left autistic brain activity right neuro-typical
In autism, research suggests that synaptic pruning does not happen in the typical way. Studies have found that people with autism often have more synapses than expected, especially in certain parts of the brain like the prefrontal cortex. This suggests that pruning is reduced or less effective during early brain development.
The excess synapses may contribute to some of the characteristics seen in autism, such as sensory overload, difficulty with social communication, and a preference for focusing on details rather than the big picture. A brain with too many connections could process information differently, sometimes too intensely or chaotically.
One proposed biological reason for this is the overactivation of the mTOR pathway, which controls cell growth and metabolism. In autism, the mTOR pathway may stay unusually active, preventing normal synaptic pruning from happening.
To sum it up simply: in autism, the brain keeps more synaptic connections than usual, and this difference in brain wiring may underlie many aspects of how autistic individuals experience and interact with the world.
So now to the fun stuff

and thanks for lending me. Your ears and helping dial in the mix! It definitely made a difference 
and a lot of 
️ 
… and some killer 
skill as well buddy.
