Autism ‘caused by genetics’, study suggests
Will this study put paid to all the anti-vaxxer nonsense? We can but hope, but I’m not holding my breath. More to the point, I hope this will stop people treating the autistic like they’re less than human. Which happens too often.
A study conducted by the Medical Research Council looked at 516 twins, and found that rates of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) were higher in identical twins who share the same DNA.
This means that the condition is far more heritable than previously thought.
