Title: Mental Disorders in Social Networks
Abstract: Many psychiatric and developmental conditions are not distributed randomly over space and time, suggesting social dynamics has an important role. This talk considers the generation of the autism epidemic. The central idea is that the increased prevalence arises from subtle large-scale social and demographic factors that have changed over time in interaction with relational structures that increase awareness. I model the dynamics of the autism epidemic using an empirically calibrated simulation. Future projects seeking to incorporate network science and neuroscience will be discussed.
