“Summary: A new study shows that brain synchronization between a neurotypical person and someone with autism is weaker compared to two neurotypical individuals interacting. Using EEG hyperscanning, researchers observed reduced inter-brain synchrony during hand movement imitation between mixed pairs, with autistic individuals more likely to follow than lead.
However, people with autism were equally capable of mimicking movements. The findings suggest that social interactions are bidirectional, shifting the focus from autism as an individual disorder to a relational condition that involves both parties.”
