I’m also hoping that we can keep on talking about what learning more about the genetics of autism means for our understanding of autism.

As much as some of us concentrate on the role environmental insults may play in triggering ASD, the fact remains that the insult can only play a role if there is a genetic predisposition. We need to know EVERYTHING we can about autism to formulate the appropriate response(s), and that includes a better understanding of genetics than we have now.

Hi Kristina
Perhaps you can find interesting these pages about Genetics
