In the second half of 2025, a groundbreaking study published in Nature Genetics revealed that autism is not just a spectrum, but actually consists of four distinct subtypes linked to specific genes and developmental trajectories. 🔍 What Are the Four Subtypes? Social and Behavioral Challenges (~37%) Marked difficulties in social interaction and repetitive behaviors. Language … Ler mais
In recent decades, we’ve witnessed an exponential rise in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, sensory processing disorders, and other neurodivergent conditions. While some see this as a public health concern, others are beginning to ask a deeper question: What if neurodivergence is not a disorder—but evolution in motion? 🌍 A Changing World … Ler mais
Genetic Mapping of Autism: Where We Stand Over the past two decades, large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS), whole‑exome and whole‑genome sequencing have identified hundreds of genes and structural variants associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Current literature estimates that 350–1,000 genes contribute to autism susceptibility. A landmark study analyzing over 150,000 participants (including ~20,000 with … Ler mais
Over the last few decades, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has become one of the fastest-growing neurodevelopmental conditions in the world. Once considered rare, it is now a common diagnosis affecting millions of children and adults globally. But what is driving this increase? Is it simply a result of better diagnostics, or are there deeper biological, … Ler mais
