Your emotions (and the emotions of others) are data. Emotions, themselves, are not good or bad. They are information. Take the time to reflect and develop understanding of them, as a mechanism for learning yourself (and others). When you know better, you can do better.

What if autism isn't one biological condition?

A major 2026 study suggests it may not be.

Researchers analyzed brain scans from nearly 1,000 autistic people and discovered two distinct patterns of communication between brain regions.

One group showed:
• Higher-than-usual brain connectivity (hyperconnectivity)

The other showed:
• Lower-than-usual brain connectivity (hypoconnectivity)

Even more interesting, these patterns were linked to different biological systems.

The hyperconnectivity group was associated with immune-related pathways

The hypoconnectivity group was associated with synaptic pathways—the systems that help brain cells communicate with one another.

This doesn't mean there are only two "types" of autism.

In fact, these two biological patterns explained only about 25% of the autistic people in the study. The researchers believe many additional biological subtypes likely exist.

What makes this study exciting is that it moves beyond behaviour.

Previous research (2025) has shown that autistic people can have different behavioural profiles.

This study suggests those differences may sometimes reflect different underlying biology.

In other words, two people can both be autistic but arrive there through different biological pathways.

We're still in the early days of understanding autism, but studies like this move us closer to a more personalized understanding of autism; one that recognizes there isn't a single autistic brain or a single autistic biology.

Your feelings are valid, AND that still doesn't mean that any ol' behavior reaction you choose is okay.
