Abstract
These findings reveal a period of pathological brain growth and arrest in autism that is largely restricted to the first years of life, before the typical age of clinical identification. Study of the older autistic brain, thus, reflects the outcome, rather than the process, of pathology. Future research focusing on this early process of brain pathology will likely be critical to elucidate the etiology of autism.
