"In people without Autism blood flows substantially to three areas of the of the brain when observing a smiling face"
"For people with Autism there is no increase in blood flow into the three regions of the brain ventral straitum, nucleus accumbends, anterior amygdala."

Based on Hofstra University study of 38 people ages 13 to 23
