What is it about?
Our research focused on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and developmental dysphasia (DD), two diagnostic categories from the group of neurodevelopmental disorders. The aim of our project was to study the neuroanatomical substrate of both conditions in school children aged 5 - 12 years using tractography. Furthermore, our project explored the relationship between neural substrate and psychopathology.

Why is it important?
There is a lack of studies comparing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and developmental dysphasia (DD) and it is necessary to focus on psychopathological similarities and differences of those.
Perspectives
I hope that this article will help to raise awareness of the less known diagnosis called developmental dysphasia (DD) and better show the overlap between the two diagnoses.
