ABSTRACT We report three children with autistic spectrum disorders who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and intravenous administration of secretin to stimulate pancreaticobiliary secretion. All three had an increased pancreaticobiliary secretory response when compared with nonautistic patients (7.5 to 10 mL/min versus 1 to 2 mL/min). Within 5 weeks of the secretin infusion, a significant amelioration of the children's gastrointestinal symptoms was observed, as was a dramatic improvement in their behavior, manifested by improved eye contact, alertness, and expansion of expressive language. These clinical observations suggest an association between gastrointestinal and brain function in patients with autistic behavior.

(Developmental) Brain Dysfunction. 4: pp 355-362, 1991

This study examined individuals who were labeled autistic at approximately 4-5 years of age. The authors obtained home movies from first birthday parties and had people trained in neurological observation evaluate the videos. In virtually 100% of the cases neurological "soft signs" were observable in each child. This takes the time issue out of the equation.

Anatomical Abnormalities in the Brains of Monozygomatic Twins Discordant for Schizophrenia
Suddath RL, Chritison GW, Torrey EF, Casanova MF, Weinberger DR.
New England Journal of Medicine. vol 32: pp 789-794, 1990

This study examined NMRI scans of identical twins discordant for schizophrenia. In 12 out of 15 sets of twins radiologists were able to identify the schizophrenic individual based solely on evaluation of the scans. The team further showed that in 14 out of the 15 sets of twins, the schizophrenic individual had reduced brain volume (increased ventricular size) when compared directly to the normal twin. By extrapolation we can draw the same conclusions for autistic individuals.

The Etiology of Autism in a Group of Mentally Retarded Subjects
Elia M, Bergonzi P, Feri R, Musumeci SA, Paladino A, Panerai S, Ragusa RM. (Developmental) Brain Dysfunction. 3: pp 228-240, 1990

In depth clinical evaluation of 33 autistic individuals. The results of this extensive examination showed that in 91% of the cases reported there was observable organic brain dysfunction. The team of doctors and scientists, led by Maurizio Elia and Raffaele Ferri, performed extensive histories and physical and clinical examinations on the 33 autistic individuals.The study used neuroimaging, neurochemistry, and neurophysiology to aid in the diagnosis (this multi-modal approach is why the authors believe they obtained such a high percentage of observable organic disease). The team reported a high correlation between autism and seizure activity (42%), as well as a high number of abnormal EEG traces (52%) in autistic individuals.

The results of this study suggest that individuals suspected of having autism should undergo vigorous clinical examinations in order to uncover the underlying organic brain dysfunction.

Two cadavers, one normal, one autistic, matched for age, race, etc. had multiple sections of their brains observed under microscopic examination. Differences in virtually every aspect of the brain (both macroscopically and microscopically) at the cellular level were evident.
