Autism Spectrum Disorder is associated with differences in brain structure and growth. Children with ASD have abnormal brain growth early in development, and their brain growth stops earlier than in typical children, whose brains continue developing later. Neurobiological factors like abnormal brain connectivity and genetics may contribute to Autism Spectrum Disorder.
