I'd rather have a bottle in front of me...

The authors of a UCSD study found children with autism have more brain cells in the part of their brains that control complex reasoning, planning, and language:

While typically developing kids had about 1.16 billion neurons in the prefrontal cortex, autistic children had about 1.94 billion.

I have always said kids with a diagnosis of autism "have a lot more going on up there than regular kids" and it looks like I may be right!

As someone once said, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotomy.
