There are many theories regarding the cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder, but currently none that have been proven to be the sole cause to promote abnormalities
Some children receive a diagnosis as early as the age of two, but most are five and older at the time of diagnosis.19Some children do not exhibit traits until they experience academic or social pressure, causing a delay in diagnosis. The Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire(ASSQ)is an exa...
In a recent review paper by Ratajczak (2011) on theoretical aspects of autism, the lines between speculation and well-supported science were blurred with respect to how possible risk factors for autism were described. Considering the potential public health implications if speculation leads to action...
Autism-spectrum disorders are one of the leading causes of lifetime developmental disability (Fombonne 2003). These diagnoses are often grouped as pervasive developmental disorders and include childhood autism, atypical autism and Asperger syndrome. They are recognised as complex neurodevelopmental disorders...
Autism genes converge on asynchronous development of shared neuron classes Article 02 February 2022 Data availability RNA-seq datasets are available at EMBL-EBI ArrayExpress, with the accession code E-MTAB-6018. These raw data are associated with the following figures: Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 7d–...
Genetic analyses have linked microRNA-137 (MIR137) to neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder. miR-137 plays important roles in neurogenesis and neuronal maturation, but the impact of miR-137 loss-of-function in vivo remains unclear. Here we show the complete...

Many of the variants also overlapped with other neurodevelopmental conditions, includingautism spectrum ...
