893 autistic individuals from four different datasets. We focus on de novo protein-truncating and missense variants in constrained genes (high-impact de novo variants)17,26and PGS for autism and genetically correlated phenotypes16. Finally, this larger sample size alongside more detailed information...
Summary The AQ continues to be a useful brief assessment instrument for measuring autistic traits in adults of normal intelligence. By determining the distribution of the AQ in the nonclinical population, the AQ can now be used more definitively to assess the extent to which other specialist popula...
Page et al.127 found that haploinsufficiency for PTEN and the serotonin transporter gene SLC6A4 act synergistically to increase brain size and decrease sociability in a mouse model. As we try to identify autism-associated metabolic pathways, it is intriguing that in addition to PTEN, mutations in...
Early char- acteristics of children with ASD who demonstrate optimal progress between age two and four. J Autism Dev Disord. 2016;46(6):2160–2173. 47. Mukaddes NM, Mutluer T, Ayik B, Umut A. What happens to children who move off the autism spectrum? A clinical follow-up study. ...
Although both types of rehearsal (from mind-blindness or obsessiveness) could influence savant skills, this practice alone probably does not act as the only catalyst for talent to emerge. There may also be differences in certain cognitive abilities, linked to autism, which manifest themselves more ...
Many kids with autism may express themselves or act in different ways than what you might be used to – and that is ok. You can still adapt and learn strategies to interact with them better. For example, you can avoid things that may upset them, learn more about what they like to talk...
the quality of life of the child and the family[2,3]. However, it is not always easy to identify comorbid conditions in children with ASD due to several factors, such as communication disorders, the ambiguity of symptoms, their deviation from those in ...
It’s easy—feed kids the food that is fit for human consumption. Having brought my 2 year old niece back form the dead and from autism with food and homeopathy I know what I saw and experienced over and over. organic diet, little meat , no grains (quinoa is good ) veges, low sugar...

That judgement at ‘looking different’, the years of bullying I endured because I didn’t quite look or act like the other kids: these things did some major damage to my sense of who I am and it still lingers many, many years afterwards. I tend to think stimming should in fact be ...
