Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by difficulties in social communication, and repetitive and restricted patterns of behaviors and interests. In the first official publication of a collection of case studies on autism, Leo Kanner (1943) documented the symptoms of autism as autistic distu...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a human behavioral disorder related to neurology and development with a global health concern that affects nearly 1-2% of the population. The term "spectrum" denotes a broad range of ASD symptoms, widely starts in childhood, and often dev...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), characterized by social, communication, and behavioral abnormalities, affects 1 in 36 children according to the CDC. Several co-occurring conditions are often associated with ASD, including sleep and immune disorders and gastrointestinal (GI) problems. ASD is also assoc...
Malan syndrome (MALNS), previously referred to as “Sotos syndrome 2” due to its resemblance to Sotos syndrome (SS), is an ultra-rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by overgrowth, typical craniofacial features, intellectual disability (ID), and a range of psychobehavioral, musculoskeletal,...
Since then, our understanding of autism has evolved, culminating in the current diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Most of the public history of autism has been dominated by allistic (non-autistic) professionals and caregivers. Some of the language in this article includes stigmatizing...

Maternal immune activation has been highlighted as a factor that might increase the risk and severity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. Preclinical animal evidence shows that immune activation in mothers during pregnancy causes ASD-like behavioural traits in offspring. To this point, ther...
