A behavioral comparison of male and female adults with high functioning autism spectrum conditionsMeng Chuan Lai
Department of Psychiatry, Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 6:e20835. 2011..We discuss the importance of the superficially better socio-communication ability in adult females with ASC in terms of why females with ASC may more often go under-recognized, and receive their diagnosis later, than males...
A shift to randomness of brain oscillations in people with autismMeng Chuan Lai
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom
Biol Psychiatry 68:1092-9. 2010..5) to ordered (H = 1). Shifts in fractal scaling of physiological time series have been associated with neurological and cardiac conditions...
Fetal testosterone influences sexually dimorphic gray matter in the human brainMichael V Lombardo
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 8AH, UK
J Neurosci 32:674-80. 2012..These results bridge a long-standing gap between human and nonhuman species by showing that FT acts as an organizing mechanism for the development of regional sexual dimorphism in the human brain...
Specialization of right temporo-parietal junction for mentalizing and its relation to social impairments in autismMichael V Lombardo

Why are autism spectrum conditions more prevalent in males?Simon Baron-Cohen
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
PLoS Biol 9:e1001081. 2011..Ultimately, as these theories are not mutually exclusive and ASC is multi-factorial, they may help explain the male prevalence of ASC...
Organizational effects of fetal testosterone on human corpus callosum size and asymmetryLindsay R Chura
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Psychoneuroendocrinology 35:122-32. 2010..We suggest that this possible organizational effect of FT on callosal asymmetry may also play a role in shaping sexual dimorphism in functional and structural brain development, cognition, and behavior...
Atypical neural self-representation in autismMichael V Lombardo
Autism Research Centre, Douglas House, Cambridge CB2 8AH, UK
Brain 133:611-24. 2010..These observations reveal that the atypical organization of neural circuitry preferentially coding for self-information is a key mechanism at the heart of both self-referential and social impairments in autism...

University of Cambridge, United Kingdom
J Cogn Neurosci 22:1623-35. 2010....
Increased serum androstenedione in adults with autism spectrum conditionsLiliana Ruta
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, Cambridge University, Cambridge, UK
Psychoneuroendocrinology 36:1154-63. 2011..02). This result is discussed in terms of androstenedione being the immediate precursor of, and being converted into, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, or estrogens in hormone-sensitive tissues and organs...
Talent in autism: hyper-systemizing, hyper-attention to detail and sensory hypersensitivitySimon Baron-Cohen
Autism Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Douglas House, 18b Trumpington Road, Cambridge CB2 8AH, UK
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 364:1377-83. 2009..We conclude that the origins of the association between autism and talent begin at the sensory level, include excellent attention to detail and end with hyper-systemizing...
