Abstract:Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit joint hypermobility and connective tissue disorders. However, it remains unclear if ASD individuals also have structural alterations in the connective tissue of the cornea. This study aims to determine whether the Kobayashi structure (K‐structure) characteristics differ between adults with ASD and typically developing controls (TDC) and explore the clinical correlates of the K‐structure abnormality. We recruited 30 ASD adults and 35 TDC. Corneal str… Show more
