Autism spectrum disorder, better known as autism, is one of the most common neurological conditions affecting children today. It is also one of the most complex. For some individuals, the effects are mild, but for others, their ability to learn and communicate is severely affected. Learn how autism affects the brain and leads to these behavioural changes in children and adults. Our panelists also discuss how their research is helping to develop new methods for diagnosing and treating autism.

About Café Scientifique
The University of Manitoba Café Scientifiques bring together experts with non-researchers (you, me, neighbours and friends) in a relaxed atmosphere (wherever you are joining us from virtually!), to learn about their research and the questions it raises. Cafés are scheduled throughout the academic year, on a weeknight, and encompass topics that reflect the breadth of research underway at the UM. They are hosted and organized by the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International).
