Latest research shows that people who find social situations difficult tend to have similar brain responses to those with schizophrenia or autism, the areas of the brain that show increased response when exposed to unexpected speech, sounds or ‘phonemes’ are associated with the processing of social information and linked with spectrum conditions such as autism or schizophrenia.
The brain of people who find social situations difficult may be processing social information inefficiently, autism and schizophrenia are multi-dimensional and spectrum conditions, which means they have varying degrees of many different symptoms, these symptoms present as non-clinical traits in the general population.
Brain responses to changes in the environment might be more closely related to the interpersonal and social difficulties experienced by those with schizophrenia and autism. Increasing the understanding of the relationship between clinical behaviours and brain response can scientists and clinicians develop innovative and efficient early detection, prevention and treatment options for patients with these conditions.
