The most statistically-powerful study on autism to date has confirmed that the disorder is strongly heritable. The analysis found that over 80% of autism risk is associated with inherited genetic factors.

Autistic and non-autistic people use similar strategies when learning about other’s preferences, but the unique preferences of autistic people make their likes and dislikes harder to predict. This explains common social misunderstandings without assuming that autistic people can’t read social cues.

The link between the gut microbiome and autism is not backed by science, researchers say
There's no scientific evidence that the gut microbiome causes autism, a group of scientists argue in an opinion paper published in Neuron. They point to the fact that conclusions from past research that supported this hypothesis—including observational studies, mouse models of autism, and human clinical trials—are undermined by flawed assumptions, small sample sizes, and inappropriate statistical methods.

Is the Gut-Autism Hypothesis a ‘Dead End?’
A new opinion paper shows no convincing evidence that there is a causal link between gut bacteria and autism, citing weak research and hype that sustained an unproven theory.
