  • Reduced heart-rate variability in adults with autism spectrum disorder. Autism Research (2019). Lower resting parasympathetic (HF, RMSSD) activity in autistic adults versus neurotypical controls. Authors, exact title, measures, sample, and the limits of comparison remain incomplete here.
  • Heart-rate variability in autism spectrum disorder: A meta-analysis (2020). Aggregated evidence of autonomic differences in ASD. Authors, venue, and exact title remain incomplete here.
  • Autistic traits moderate relations between cardiac autonomic activity, interoceptive accuracy, and emotion processing (2020). Trait-level differences change how autonomic signals, interoception, and emotion relate. Authors, venue, and exact title remain incomplete here.
  • Feasibility of HRV as an outcome measure for emotion-regulation interventions in autism. Scientific Reports (2024). Indicates HRV-based tools may support neurodivergent people, not exclude them. Feasibility does not establish fairness or benefit for a currency system, and the bibliographic details remain incomplete here.
