Too often the diagnosticians simply don't know what they are looking at. I concur with Janna.

Dr. Gerard Schellenberg says there may be four to six major genes and another 20 to 30 genes having a minor role. This isn’t a big surprise because we know that complex diseases like autism, depression, heart disease, and cancer are the result of both genetic and environmental factors.
