The latest autism research news stories with ASF Chief Science Officer Alycia Halladay
We have talked already about the link between autism and dementia, however a lesser known association is the one between autism and another disorder of aging: Parkinson’s Disease. A recent presentation at INSAR revealed what is known about the relationship, why they are related, what causes the association and what people with autism can do to possibly mitigate the onset of dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. Thank you to Dr. Blair Braden and Samantha Harker and Manuela Velez Galindo from the Autism and Brain Aging Lab at Arizona State University (@autismbrainaginglab @asuresearch) for joining this podcast and explaining the findings so far and what they mean for individuals and families with autism.
