“My autism is not a superpower. It also isn’t some kind of god-forsaken, endless fountain of suffering inflicted on my family. It’s just part of who I am as a person”. - Sara Luterman
The story's headline is misleading. Apparently they did NOT find any "new kind of autism". They found a new cause for the same old types of autism that they always knew about.But it is interesting that they are zeroing in on both the genes, and on the mechanisms by which the genes cause autism.
Actually it does suggest a molecular subgroup of autism that could be trear able although it would be a very very rare occurance.
Here is the conclusion paragraph for those who cannot acess full paper
I wonder if these are syndromic forms of autism or another group of risk genes. There could be people with the same genes yet no autism due to an absence of a toxic environmental factor or compensation by other parts of the genome. I'm betting again on the epigenome being responsible.

I still hold many of my views, but I will tone down my anger and stop being so bigoted and judgmental. I can't possibly know how you see things and will stop thinking I know everything you all think.
