An inspiring report on brain research unlocking causes of learning disorders

This TED presentation by Aditi Shankardass: A second opinion on learning disorders shows the importance of using direct, reliable evidence to draw conclusions. As she explains, many children continue to be diagnosed with autism or ADD without ever receiving a brain scan, just on the basis of their observable behavior. However, when she started analyzing their brain activity, it became clear that many children with problems simply needed brain related medication. Amazing, and powerful, and a lesson to all of us to not jump to conclusions about the essential nature of something just based on limited observations.
