Data compiled by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
indicates an alarming and continuing increase in the prevalence of
autism. Despite intensive research during the last few decades,
autism remains a behavioral defined syndrome wherein diagnostic
criteria lack in construct validity. And, contrary to other
conditions like diabetes and hypertension, there are no biomarkers
for autism. However, new imaging methods are changing the way we
think about autism, bringing us closer to a falsifiable definition
for the condition, identifying affected individuals earlier in
life, and recognizing different subtypes of autism. The imaging
modalities discussed in this book emphasize the power of new
technology to uncover important clues about the condition with the
hope of developing effective interventions. Imaging the Brain in
Autism was created to examine autism from a unique perspective that
would emphasize results from different imaging technologies. These
techniques show brain abnormalities in a significant percentage of
patients, abnormalities that translate into aberrant functioning
and significant clinical symptomatology. It is our hope that this
newfound understanding will make the field work collaborative and
provide a path that minimizes technical impediments.
