Harvard has found a possible cause in autism and autistic behaviour, A break in the neurotransmitter pathway?

check out this article: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2 ... ok-general

Im not a strong reader so i cant say anything about it right now i have to read it a few more times to understand.

What do you think?

Another user, pcuser, has posted an article which states that the same neurotransmitter, GABA, might be implicated in autism.

This might be significant. Who knows? Maybe in the future, they could make use of this research in the actual treatment of some forms of autism which is caused by the actions of this neurotransmitter.

I do wish they would specify what type of autism they were studying.

Thanks, ZombieBride!

Sounds like a typical press release from a researcher, trying to get grant money IMHO.
