"Uncovering the Positive Impact of Autism on Cognitive Abilities"

Research suggests that autistic individuals may perform better in certain cognitive tasks due to higher levels of "neural noise" in the brain, which can enhance performance through a phenomenon called stochastic resonance. This finding challenges the traditional view of autism as solely a deficit and highlights the strengths inherent in autism. Understanding and acknowledging these strengths can help reduce stigma and promote acceptance of neurodiversity.
