Autism, formally known as Autism Spectrum Disorder, has been linked with Addiction, especially regarding Video games and other digital media.[1] The correlation has been studied, but its exact nature is not known.[2] One hypothesis is that restricted interest and a reduced desire for social interaction may lead autistic people to be more vulnerable to addictive patterns of behavior. [3] More fundamental connections have been drawn, suggesting that substance abuse and autism may cause similar abnormalities in the brain. [4]
