Here (http://www.haaretz.com/life/science-medicine/1.624782) is another study, incidentally also from an Israeli university, where they find no anatomical differences between autistic and non-autistic ones. It can't be both -- one of them must be wrong.
Anatomical differences are macro-scale, while connective topological differences are very micro. The article mentions that the connective differences are not associated with anatomical differences.
Not so incidentally. Around 5 years ago the Israeli ministry of defense started generously funding brain research projects (they are interested in stuff like direct computer interfaces for pilots). It seems an army of brain researchers have recently moved from US and Europe to Israel.
