This is really interesting stuff. It definitely seems support to some of the stuff I’ve read over the past two years which indicates that autism can “run in families.”
A lot has been published and broadcast on this “breaking news” in the last 24 hours. here are some of the btter stories I’ve seen so far. Feel free to add additional links in Comments:
“CHOP, Penn research points to genetic link in autism” (Philadelphia Inquirer, featuring the local angle to the story)
“Researchers find common genetic vaiations in autistic people“ (Los Angleles Times)
“Biggest autism study idetifies gene variations behind condition” (Times Online)
“Autism Studies Targets Genetic Link” – with video (CBS News)
I’d also be curious to know what those of you who are part of the autism community think about this.
