The Biology Behind Autism Spectrum Disorder

 

One in 44 children living in the United States is diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) —a condition that can present with a diverse range of challenges. While ASD is well-studied, scientists’ knowledge of the biology behind the disorder is limited. To improve the scientific basis for understanding ASD, James McPartland of the Yale Child Study Center and director of the Yale Developmental Disabilities Clinic, is studying the biomarkers associated with the condition—biological characteristics that can be objectively measured. #asd #autism #research
