1st – WHY are special supports Needed???
Children and Adults with ASD face many unique challenges
Our understanding of the physiological CAUSES of these
challenges is rapidly growing.

Chromosomal Genetics
Autism Genome Project - Global 5 yr collaboration
*130 scientists in 50 institutions in 19 countries, $20 million
*DNA samples from 1,600 families
*Estimates 100 genes could be involved
The analysis also uncovered a link between autism and the deletion in part
of a gene known as neurexin 1, one of a family of genes important in
communication between neurons in the brain.

Biological sex affects the neurobiology of autism
This study seeks to answer two questions about how autism is modulated by biological sex at the level of the brain: (i)is the neuroanatomy of autism different in males and females? (ii)(ii) does the neuroanatomy of autism fit predictions from the „extreme male brain‟ theory of autism, in males and/or in females?
