August 17, 2022 Anxiety drives amygdala differences in autistic youth
Regions of the brain’s fear center expand in autistic children and teenagers with anxiety, but not in their autistic or non-autistic peers without anxiety. The post Anxiety drives amygdala differences in autistic youth appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.

August 15, 2022 Factors other than autism traits guide therapies for autistic children
Most autistic children in the Netherlands have used some sort of treatment, but the number, type and timing varies depending on considerations unrelated to their condition. The post Factors other than autism traits guide therapies for autistic children appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.

August 12, 2022 New program offers $35K grants to study ‘profound autism’
People who have ‘profound autism’ — those with severe intellectual disability, limited communication abilities or both — tend to be excluded from research. The Autism Science Foundation seeks to change that. The post New program offers $35K grants to study ‘profound autism’ appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.

August 11, 2022 Pathological demand avoidance in autism, explained
Some clinicians say the term describes a subtype of autism, but others dispute its validity and say it is harmful to the autistic community.

August 10, 2022 Plethora of protein-making machines in neurons may underlie fragile X
An overabundance of ribosomes drives an imbalance of proteins produced from long and short genetic transcripts in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome. The post Plethora of protein-making machines in neurons may underlie fragile X appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.

August 08, 2022 How an expert panel evaluates genes for autism genetic tests
About 15 percent of genes currently included in clinical genetic tests for autism or intellectual disability don’t have enough evidence to support their ties to the conditions, the panel found. The post How an expert panel evaluates genes for autism genetic tests appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.

August 05, 2022 The final frontier: Autism geneticists take on the noncoding genome
The vast stretches of DNA that don't code for proteins could fill key knowledge gaps about autism genetics. But making sense of it all won't be easy. The post The final frontier: Autism geneticists take on the noncoding genome appeared first on Spectrum | Autism Research News.
