Diagnosing autism with a camera and an algorithm
Robert Schultz hopes to use technology to change how autism is studied, diagnosed and treated.
Social motivation, reward and the roots of autism
Social impairments in autism are likely a consequence of deficits in social motivation that start early in life and have profound developmental consequences, says psychologist Robert Schultz.

Autism-linked variants converge on two molecular patterns in mouse brains
Gene activity across 17 autism mouse models occurs in either of two opposing transcriptomic states, supporting the idea that diverse genetic changes may converge on a few recurring biological patterns.
