individuals
and determine that there was a single powerful genetic factor that caused autism within those families.
We're starting to have a bottom-up approach where we're identifying those genes, those proteins, those molecules, understanding how they interact together to make that neuron work, understanding how those neurons interact together to make circuits work, and understand how those circuits work to now control behavior, and understand that both in

with autism, but yet we have a long way to go.

individuals
in families with autism, I invite you to join the interactive autism network, to be part of the solution to this, because it's going to take really a lot of us to think about what's important, what's going to be a meaningful difference.

individuals
of all ages, from the young to the old, and with all different shapes and sizes of the autism spectrum disorder to make sure that we can have an impact.

We talk about the brain, but of course every brain is slightly different, and maybe there are some
individuals
