Why everything you know about autism is wrong!

This subject really interests me.

With biologists working at the molecular level, geneticists profiling single cell RNA  expression and neuroscientists studying the cytoarchitecture of specific areas of the brain or their circuitry, it is no wonder that this reductionist approach has produced a fragmentary account of autism.

This is slowly changing and some scientists are realising that human experience can only be properly described at an autopoietic or holistic level.

The neuro-geneticist Kevin Mitchell writes about this here: http://www.wiringthebrain.com/2019/09/beyond-reductionism-systems-biology.html

It does really concern me, how much of the research funding goes into trying to wok our how to prevent or cure autism rather than how to help autistic individuals! 

Thank you again for another link! I must find time to read these later!
