An analysis of calendar performance in two autistic calendar savantsDaniel P Kennedy

Failing to deactivate: resting functional abnormalities in autismDaniel P Kennedy

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:8275-80. 2006..We speculate that the lack of deactivation in the autism group is indicative of abnormal internally directed processes at rest, which may be an important contribution to the social and emotional deficits of autism...
