AUTISM COULD BE LINKED TO GENETIC MUTATION!

Care to provide a link to this study about the chromosome mutation? If no link is available, then how about where the study was conducted and by whom.

Thank you.

Interestingly a recent study suggests Autism may be genetic in that parent/grandparents were `systemizers eg engineers,mathemeticans etc

Many autistic people are `systemizers'.

It is suggested that the tendacy for `systemizers' to marry each other may be increasing the incidence of autism.

I understand that the study was done by University of Utah researchers who studied individuals of a Norrthern European family,in a way confirming suspications of Finnish researchers that Chrosomone 3 may harbour a gene causing autism.
