An imbalance in inhibitory/excitatory neurotransmission is proposed to affect the autistic brain, but empirical evidence in humans is lacking. Robertson et al. report a link between a robust autistic perceptual symptom and reduced action of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), in the brains of autistic individuals.
