Scientists probe the link between autism, memory, and personal identity

NCT ID NCT02747056

Summary

This study aimed to understand how autism spectrum disorder affects a person's sense of self and identity in adulthood. Researchers compared 102 adults with autism (without intellectual disability) to neurotypical adults by asking them to share and describe personal memories and self-defining statements. The goal was to gather knowledge to potentially inform future therapies aimed at improving social connections for autistic adults.
