For decades, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory scientists and collaborators have invested millions of dollars into deciphering the genetic causes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Their efforts have produced useful insights for diagnosticians, therapists, and educators, helping to change the way people think about this common neurodevelopmental disorder. Now, they’ve taken their work another big step further, once again overturning popular assumptions about autism and its genetic origins.
