Memory is the scaffolding upon which all mental life is constructed.

There is no question there are differences between male and female brains. They are called sexual dimorphisms and you can point to different anatomical structures.

There are clear differences between and some- and there may be protective factors in a female brain.

I think my own bias is that there may be something wrong with the timing and the connectivity between regions rather than pointing to one particular spot in the brain.

I don't know of any neuropsychiatric disorder other than an infection that has been cured. But the goal is to improve the quality of life of people who experience autistic symptomology and I just think we will make progress on that.

In fact, many children come to autism clinics early on with GI/bowel disturbances.

In autism there is just genes in part more or less of a probability that you will have the disorder, and that is where interactions with the environment are key.
