"Brain Behavior Connections in Autism", Nancy Minshew, Diane Williams
information input is OK (perception, memory)
But fewer interconnections between different parts of the brain
Problems in higher brain functions, such as:
what is the object in your hand? (feel, see,recognize,fast)
skilled motor movements (e.g. handwriting, speech)
flexibility, concept formation, information filtering

How skid attempts to communicate 
Use the senses that work better: pictures or written words
reduce the content to essential information
information in small, simple chunks (directions on a soup can )
Allows learning at the individual's own pace, where sensory overload is lower 
"The medium is the message"
