Stanford Medicine reports findings that children with autism present with low levels of a hormone that affects their ability to empathize with others. Researchers have found a correlation between the low levels of this hormone - vasopressin - and the inability of autistic children to understand that the feelings and perspectives of others differ from their own. Check out how these researchers investigated this hormone to find these correlations, and what the effects of this hormone may mean for future treatment.
