Discussions included the definition and diagnostic criteria of SPD, prevalence and comorbidities, specific behavioral traits, the impact of depression, healthy habits and coping strategies, as well as appropriate therapeutic interventions and support for these individuals. The neurobiology and genomics of ASD and giftedness were also addressed, with a comparative analysis of the brain regions, neurotransmitters, genes and variants involved. The importance of studying ASD in gifted individuals was highlighted, considering the cognitive and emotional particularities that can influence the manifestation of the disorder.
