Researchers report elevated mutations in the 'essential genes' appear to be associated with an increased risk for ASD.
A new study that used rhesus macaques with low levels of sociability revealed the animals had reduced levels of vasopressin in their cerebral spinal fluid, as did children diagnosed with ASD.

Responsive teaching techniques help improve parental stress and depression in mothers whose children are on the autism spectrum.
Researchers have identified neurons vital for socialized behavior in zebrasifh. The study reports, when the neurons are disabled, their orientation to one another breaks down in a similar way to socialization problems in humans with ASD.
