Predictive Homeostasis Theory

 

While no single theory fully explains all aspects of autism, each attempts to provide insights into different cognitive and behavioral characteristics.

Predictive Homeostasis Theory

  • This theory proposes that the predictive coding system in autism might be tuned to maintain a state of homeostasis, leading to atypical responses to changes and novelty.
  • Implications: A preference for routine and predictability, challenges in adapting to new or unexpected situations, and a tendency to engage in repetitive behaviors to maintain predictability.
