Behavioral and Brain Signatures of Autism in Females
Kaustubh Supekar, Ph.D., examines recent findings about gender/sex differences in autism phenotypes and brain organization. He highlights the underrepresentation of females in autism and underscores the need for a large-scale science approach. The
Setting Priorities for Autism Research
Autism organizations, individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and parents have differing views on how best to proceed with autism research. However, nearly all of us can agree that the progress that

Overview: Medical Comorbidities and ASD
In this brief overview, neurologist Margaret Bauman, MD summarizes symptoms and signs of medical comorbidities that frequently occur, but may go unrecognized, in patients diagnosed with ASD. While the underlying cause of autism spectrum
“Genetic wrinkles” in DNA may explain some cases of ASD
Researchers in Canada report that expanded tandem DNA repeats—what they dub “genetic wrinkles” in DNA—may play a significant role in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Stephen Scherer and his team, including first author
