Rex Autistikōn Labs

Independent research into the biomechanics of sensory and interoceptive signaling

We are specifying a falsifiable programme that asks whether measurable tissue mechanical state at eight cranial-nerve-adjacent and midline-visceral interfaces relates to first-order afferent and physiological outcomes. Mechanical restriction is a latent construct, not a diagnosis.

About the Foundation

Rex Autistikon Research Foundation, Inc. is an independent 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 42-3220323). Rex Autistikōn Labs is the research initiative it operates. We are not a clinic and we do not offer diagnostic or therapeutic services.

Our Mission

Rex Autistikōn Labs, operating under the Rex Autistikon Research Foundation, Inc., is an independent 501(c)(3) research initiative dedicated to advancing a rigorous, multi-scale understanding of peripheral mechanical contributions to sensory, motor, and regulatory differences observed in autism spectrum disorder and related conditions.

The programme specification is Kim (2026), DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22149318. It makes no causal claim about autism and licenses no scoring instrument.
