Long-Read Genome Sequencing Uncovers New Autism Gene Variants By utilizing long-read sequencing, an emerging technique that reads large sections of the genome at once, scientists at UC San Diego have revealed new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...

Researchers @sebatlab.bsky.social utilized long-read whole #genome sequencing and identified new #genetic variants associated with Autism. This enhanced the discovery of variants, leading to the potential for accurate testing and new therapies.

Omaha hairstylist opens sensory-friendly salon as autism diagnoses rise The sound of clippers buzzing can make a routine haircut terrifying for some kids, but at one salon, the lights, music and speed are all in the clients’ control.

So excited to see more sensory-friendly services like Joanay Turner's becoming available! Options make appointments such as these less stressful.

Scientists Say Autism Develops Through a Three-Step Biological Process A major new study reframes autism as a disorder of cellular stress and metabolism, explaining why no single gene or exposure causes ASD.

[5/5] #autism #ASD #AutismSpectrumDisorder #antivaxx #vaccines

*toxins already proven to cause autism in the fetus are nicotine(!), caffeine(!), pesticides, PFAs, phthalates and a wide range of other endocrine disruptive chemicals dumped on us by the fossil fuel/chemical industry. Go protest those!

[4/5] #autism #ASD #AutismSpectrumDisorder #antivaxx #vaccines

Which also means, if your child shows autistic symptoms after a vaccination (the worsening triggered by the worked up immune system), than that child already WAS autistic at birth, you just didn't notice the signs. ->5/5

[3/5] #autism #ASD #AutismSpectrumDisorder #antivaxx #vaccines

brain and nervous system CAN'T be turned into an autist with ANYTHING, because it already IS developed beyond, you can't turn anyone already born back into a tadpole to re-do the whole brain development defectively. ->4/5

[2/5] #autism #ASD #AutismSpectrumDisorder #antivaxx #vaccines

during the FETAL state due to genetic defects. Which means the maldevelopment MUST be either inherited OR triggered (e.g. by toxins* or infections) BEFORE that very fetal state.
Which means a child born with a regularly developed -> 3/5

[1/5] #autism #ASD #AutismSpectrumDisorder #antivaxx #vaccines

Obviously #antivaxx folks haven't got the slightest clue what autism is *facepalm*

To put it simple: Autism spectrum disorder is a systemic developmental disorder of the brain and the nervous system (among other maldevelopments) ->2/5
