Changes in the brain of kids on the spectrum?

I thought I saw somewhere that there were changes that could be found on the brains of kids on the spectrum.  Through the genetic study we did an MRI on Jon thinking he was our most "typical" kid.  The MRI showed white spots on his brain.  The neurologist said that it's something they can pick up on now that the technology is better in MRIs and to not really worry about it.  I find it weird that the spots that are "abnormal" are in the same area that Chris's delayed myelination.

    I don't know about the brain changes (wish I had a better answer for you!). Have you found out anything more since you last posted?

    No.  I've been working on a friend's IEP/due process as her advocate and working on my own IEPs for Jon and Matthew.
