- Presentation from the 7th annual BRI Symposium at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. Latest research in autism: Study of brain development may lead to personalized behaviour treatment for kids with ASD
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex condition that impacts normal brain development and affects a person's social relationships, communication, interests and behaviour. Because ASD is a spectrum disorder, there is wide variation in how it affects each person.
Dr. Krissy Doyle-Thomas, a post doctoral fellow in the Autism Research Centre at Holland Bloorview, examined how three areas of the brain change with age to better target behaviour treatment and drug therapy for children with ASD.
In the first study that spans childhood to adulthood, Dr. Doyle-Thomas scanned the brains of individuals with ASD between the ages of seven and 39 and compared changes with typically developing individuals of the same age to understand how autism affects the brain differently.
The study found clear differences in the surface area, thickness in the outer layer of the brain (cortex) and differences in the chemistry of the brain between people with ASD and those without. Future studies will examine a wider spectrum of autism and use targeted drug therapy to help balance behaviours.

But high-quality talk and expertise, with lots of practical and theoretical knowledge and experience. And she only improved over the last 11 years. Way to go Krissy!
Thank you for this incredibly elucidating talk. Really helped me understand brain differences that contribute to presenting symptoms in ASD. I’m studying for my Music Therapy Board Certification exam and this will certainly help me understand my clients. Well done, great work!
Autism is not a disorder it's a different way to look at the World.
But ASD child and adults suffer big anxiety that sometimes enables them to function.
We have a 30 years old.
You are a star!!!
Krissy's cute
terrible....
No matter what this group should be called into question as far as their modivations for study as they are involved with autism speaks. Thus this organization is NOT good for autistic people.
why? read the description
how can you smile while speaking about this? These are our kids?
Christine Scheeler she is a scientist.
How can you be so hypersensitive as to expect anyone researching or discussing ASD, should be very unhappy or even crying? First, I am Autistic. Second, "emotion" is never part of the equation of researching processes. You should be cheering that people are putting a lot of effort into research. Some much is being learned and someday it will lead to a complete understanding of Autism. Stop complaining and be happy.
Autism Sucks
Would you rather her have a really sad voice and uninspiring.
get help, psychopath
