Autism Is Not a Single Condition and Has No Single Cause, Scientists Conclude

New research from The University of Cambridge suggests that autism should not be understood as a single cause with a single cause. Scientists find that people who have diagnosed during childhood often have a different genetic profile than in life, enhanced understanding how this situation develops.

The Study Analyzing autistic people’s behavior in childhood and adolescence in the United Kingdom and Australia. It has also evaluated genetic data for more than 45,000 patients from various groups in Europe and the United States.

Attaching the age to the age of the genetic data, researchers observed that the profiles of the first identified persons identified with the conditions were separated from those who received the confirmation at the next stage. They found only a little overlap between the two groups, indicating that the biological processes related to autism in childhood can be different from those associated with adolescent or adolescent autism.

Analyzing analysis last week in the journal Journal showed that children who were diagnosed before the age of 6 were more likely to have behavioral difficulties in social interaction as a problem. In contrast, those who have diagnosed after the age of 10 were more likely to feel social and behavioral disadvantages during adolescence. They had more tendency to be such a disappointment of mental health conditions.

The survey was further added that the person who was later diagnosed was close to the average genetic profile ADHD And conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder than “classic” autism identified in childhood.

The survey concludes that the time of diagnosis is not completely random but reflects the inherent genetic differences that in some cases match the risk for other conditions.

“For the first time we have seen that there are various underlying biological and development profiles in autism,” said Varun Warrior, the chief author of a paper in A., a researcher at the University of Cambridge University and the chief author of the paper, said.
