Polygenic and developmental profiles of autism differ by age at diagnosis ?

Deleted User

I think someone shared the study "Polygenic and developmental profiles of autism differ by age at diagnosis"?

I can't find it through the on-site search function.

Anyways, it may be interesting to read (for anyone that did not read it earlier, like me).

There is a wired article, which is simpler, and comments on the research article itself.

I wonder what you think about it?

  • It is reflective of an increased interest among researchers in the autism field to move back towards formal sub-classification of autism. Recent decades have seen 'lumping' in the ascendance, hence the generalised diagnosis of ASD and the overarching idea of the spectrum. Now the 'splitters' are reasserting themselves and the genetic data, incomplete and tentative as it is, is tending to support this. Different genetic causation suggests different resulting conditions. I feel that autism will be increasingly viewed as a portmanteau term used to cover a number of distinct genetic conditions with some phenotypic overlap.
