First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looked at how autism affects a person's sense of self in adulthood. Researchers compared autistic adults (without intellectual disability) to non-autistic adults by asking them to recall personal memories and describe what defines them. The goal was to understand differences in memory detail and self-concept, not to test a treatment.
