The Basis of Hyperspecificity in Autism: A Preliminary Suggestion Based on Properties of Neural Nets

This article reviews a few key ideas about the representation of information in neural networks and uses these ideas to address one aspect of autism, namely, the apparent hyperspecificity that is often seen in autistic children's application of previously acquired information. Hyperspecificity is seen as reflecting a possible feature of the neural codes used to represent concepts in the autistic brain.
