Excitatory effects & . Inhibitory . effects.  Excitatory neurotransmitters trigger a nerve impulses in the receiving cell (they speed up neuron communication) while inhibitory neurotransmitters act to prevent further transmission of an impulse.(they slow down neural communication) . Difficulties with learning, paying attention, and memory are common among children with autism. It’s believed this is caused by a deficiency in acetylcholine: a neurotransmitter responsible for helping to refine memory, motivation, thought processes, language skills, and concentration.
