Abstract

Individuals with ASD show early brain enlargement and elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the extra-axial space of the brain. In this study, we hypothesized that children with ASD who slept more on their side in infancy would exhibit less severe ASD symptoms in childhood. Results support this hypothesis.
