Funded Activity Summary

The search for genetic vulnerability in autism research has been hindered by the assumption that the different symptoms which define the disorder can be attributed to the same causal mechanism. Instead it has been suggested that the social and non-social aspects of autism spectrum conditions (ASC) have distinct causes at genetic, cognitive and neural levels. This study will assess the autism phenotype across individuals with a high, medium or low genetic vulnerability to autism.
