🧬 New Autism Subgroups: What Changes for Families and Science?

Por

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

🧬 The New Neurodivergent Generation: A Sign of Human Evolution?

Por

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

🧬 English – Genetic Mapping of Autism: What Science Has Achieved
