Synaptic pruning in Autistic vs. allistic people is FASCINATING. helensan.com/handouts/synap…
@mightbeautistic Wish I could read this but it’s a pdf, so… 😞 Does this exist anywhere else in a different format that’ll work for screen readers?
@mightbeautistic When I first heard about synaptic pruning I wondered if this was the case, especially given the difference in autistic development. Might also be the case for ADHD.
@mightbeautistic Does this mean autistics have more brain matter than allistics, and that's why we take in so much more sensory input and such?
@mightbeautistic After my trauma injury, I tried to explain to my psychologist that if he didn't understand trauma injury is physical he couldn't help me because inside I could feel that my neurons lost too many of their dendrites, so I wasn't having the synapse connections I had before injury. >
@mightbeautistic How do they know that some mice are autistic?🤣🤣🤣
