Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

Autism brings many problems, speech difficulties, physical & emotional control, digestive problems and many more. In Australia researchers have been focusing on autistic’s executive function, also know as the central executive. As the name suggest this part of the brain is involved with processes such as planning, cognitive flexibility, abstract thinking, rule acquisition, and inhibiting inappropriate actions and irrelevant sensory information.
The research, soon to be published in The American Journal of Psychiatry used fMRI studies to identify areas deep in the brain which were under-performing. From the press release: "‘Specifically, we found that activity in the caudate nucleus, a critical part of circuits that link the prefrontal cortex of the brain, is reduced in boys with autism. These findings have important implications, since prefrontal brain circuits play a critical role in maintaining and focusing attention, planning and setting goals, and keeping goals in memory during problem-solving and decision-making.’”.
Dr Cunnington has also studied this area in children with ADHD and results from that are due to be published in the British Journal of Psychiatry  and have found similarities in the impairment of specific executive function in children with ADHD and autism.
