Abstract

Дијагностичката историја на аутизмoт, дислексијатa и хиперлексијатa е комплексна.Затоа што овие состојби делат меѓу себе и конвергентни и дивергентни состојби, важно е да се разберат овие врски, особено во случај на истражување и на кој начин се интерпретираат студии кои поминуваат низ декади со променливи критериуми.Многу е важно да се синтетизира што е досега познато за морфологијата на овие состојби и да се подвлече што е сè уште непознато.Аутизмот и дислексијата, на пример, делат антиподни церебрални морфологии, како што се миниколумнарната густина, неурополната ширина, големината на клетките, волуменот на корпус калозум, гиралната комплексност, гиралната големина и церебралниот волумен, додека хиперлексијата не беше проучена на овој начин, иако таа има многу сличности со аутизмот.Во меѓувреме, флуктуацијата на критериумите на

Cited bibliography overview

These indicators describe the bibliography cited by this publication. An author name is counted each time it appears in one cited reference, so the same person can be counted more than once. Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 14 Sep 2026 14:22.
