This conclusion is obtained after a number of researchers from the Netherlands and Britain to do research, involving about 16 people willing volunteers who are given hormone.
The finding that they appear in the journal PNAS, published by the National Academy of Sciences United States is further strengthening the theory that hormones are important factors in the development of autism.
Autism itself is a disorder that levels can vary and affect the ability of children or adults to communicate or socially interact.
Recent study done by researchers at the University of Cambridge and Utrecht declare autism may appear due to exposure to excessive testosterone hormones to the baby when they entered the stage of brain development.
Currently, autism is more common in boys than girls. This is because women are much less have the hormone testosterone.
However, further research
In penelitainan researchers from both the University that provides hormone testosterone to its volunteers to test whether this hormone affects the region associated with autism, the ability to empathize.
In a standard test to test the ability of the volunteers in the 'read minds' based on the characters faces are usually women showed better results than men.
But after they were given the hormone testosterone is the ability of the volunteers turned out to show a significant decline.
The results of this study was not simply accepted by a number of other researchers, they said the finding has not answered all questions about the emergence of autism.
Autistic Researchers at the University Collge London, Professor Uta Firth said the findings need to be addressed carefully.
"Testosterone is indeed interesting theory but it is just one of many theories that explain the emergence of autism. I hope this research can be continued by another team, let alone the number of female volunteers who are involved in the research this time too little," says Firth.
A number of other researchers said the study is just a piece to complement a great puzzle about autism.
