Researchers (Nicolas et al, 2007) wonder whether the genes responsible for synchronization in the brain are somehow defective in children with autism (including high-grade autism and Asperger's).
People on the autism spectrum have a significant number of symptoms that show that the concept of "time" in the brain is seriously disturbed. This disruption can range from sleep disturbances to the brain's ability to process information, attention or the ability to move on, to focus on one thing (they are often obsessed), communication and alternation in conversation, transformation and sensory integration, motor coordination (including muscles for vision and visual perception).
The authors found that there is indeed an involvement of the "clock genes", although this requires further research.
The use of the rhythmicity protocol developed by functional neurology, in the comprehensive treatment programs for autism children improves synchronization skills, essential for the development of speech and language, cognitive, social, and motor skills.
