Anna Vinevskaya. Development of a child with autism (№ 444176)

Markram et al. propose a unifying hypothesis for autism, the "intense world syndrome", where the underlying neurological pathology is "perception, processing and storage of excessive neural information in the local neural circuits of the brain, which leads to hyperfunction of the most affected areas of the brain." According to the authors, all manifestations of autism (disturbances in successful social interaction, communication, speech problems, problems with cognitive functions, repetitive behavior, etc.) can be considered as a consequence of sensory overload experienced by people with autism.
