US EditionNo Greater Risk Of Brain Aging Among People With Autism
- Researchers reported on April 24, 2025, that people with autism do not face greater risk of age-related brain decline in a seven-year study.
- The study responded to concerns about autism's effect on brain aging by tracking participants' spatial working memory over time.
- Most participants, whether autistic or not, maintained spatial working memory, which supports remembering and using information about locations and arrangements.
- Joshua Stott of University College London emphasized that their findings do not indicate that autistic individuals face a greater likelihood of experiencing cognitive decline due to aging compared to those without autism.
- The findings suggest some cognitive changes occur similarly in autistic and non-autistic people, highlighting the need for further research on aging and autism.

Autism not linked with increased age-related cognitive decline
There is no difference over time in the spatial working memory of older people who have autistic traits and those who are neurotypical, finds a new study finds a new study led by UCL researchers in collaboration with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London.
