Difference between those diagnosed early to those diagnosed later

TheCatWoman

According to research theres different genes involved in those diagnosed as young children to those diagnosed later in life and certainly those of us who were diagnosed as adults. The research states that theres no one cause of autism and that multiple genes are involved.

There's an article on it in todays Guardian newspaper.

  • I concur with   limitations acknowledged - and looking at the paper with a cooler head 

    As the paper puts it:

    "This indicates that there are several other factors that contribute to age at autism diagnosis."

    As   points towards.

    The thing that frustrates me is that the paper and the science is "good" within its limitations.  For all its prior sins Nature has good current standards as far as I can tell.  (or am I still being naive?)

    Switching that into click bait journalism is the real problem maybe?

    Lesson learned personally.

    What flipping hope have we though in terms of wider public understanding tho' - sheesh...

    Thanks all.
