The mission of the ARC is to understand the biomedical causes of autism spectrum conditions, and develop new and validated methods
for assessment and intervention. The ARC fosters collaboration between scientists in Cambridge University and outside, to accelerate
this mission.

People with autism are more likely to also have synaesthesia, suggests new research in the journal Molecular Autism. Synaesthesia
involves people experiencing a ‘mixing of the senses’, for example, seeing colours when they hear sounds, or reporting that
musical notes evoke different tastes. Autism is diagnosed when a person struggles with social relationships and communication,
and shows unusually narrow interests and resistance to change. The team of scientists from Cambridge University found that
whereas synaesthesia only occurred in 7.2% of typical individuals, it occurred in 18.9% of people with autism.
