A recent press release regarding a recent study from The Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and The University of California in Los Angeles mentions finding two regions of DNA linked to autism. According to Dr. John Consstantion, a co-principal investigator, there's "a continuous distribution of autism symptoms from very mild to very severe." In other words, whereas a child is diagnosed as autistic, other members in the family can have very subtle communication impairments or behavioral tendencies.
It's interesting.
