🧬 New insights into autism: A 2025 JCI Viewpoint highlights how hundreds of genes, polygenic risk, and specific environmental factors converge during fetal brain development to shape autism likelihood.

🧠 Early biomarkers—from infant MRI and ERPs to machine-learning models using EHR data—are accelerating earlier, more tailored interventions.

🌱 Advances in gene therapy, IGF-1 pathways, and proteomics offer emerging therapeutic possibilities.

🤝 Centering autistic voices remains essential as precision approaches evolve.
