  What is the evidence that autism is genetic?

  Aug 22, 202642 min

  This week we talk to Drs. Steve Scherer, Lisa Bradley and Graham Collingridge who recently published research that shows the gene PTCHD1-AS influences social functioning in humans and mice, without influencing intellectual deficits. This is the newest data that shows a single gene can control social communication and not some of the other comorbid features … Continue reading "What is the evidence that autism is genetic?"

  News from the International Society for Autism Research Meeting, 2025

  May 11, 202517 minS0

  <p>This year’s International Society of Autism Research Meeting was filled with great presentations about causes, diagnosis, interventions, mechanisms, supports, understanding sex differences and different populations of those with autism. But not everyone could fly to Seattle to attend. This week’s podcast provides a short summary of just some of the science presented. Michael Lombardo provided a keynote that included data from his research included on this podcast: https://blubrry.com/asfpodcast/137452290/factors-that-influence-heterogeity-and-how/</p> <p></p> <p>If you would like a copy of the INSAR program book, email me at ahalladay@autismsciencefoundation.org.

  The Importance of Model Systems

  Oct 28, 202437 minS0

  <p>Animal models of autism, including cell based models, have received criticism because autism is a uniquely human condition so there is no value in studying it in a model like a mouse or a cell. On the other hand, model systems have been used for decades to develop therapies for a myraid of other conditions and disorders, and produced evidence-based treatments for not just autism but conditions from ADHD to schizophrenia. So why is there so much backlash about this line of research? The ASF podcast talks to Jill Silverman at UC Davis to get some perspective.</p> <p>...

  More about the environmental influences in autism

  Sep 8, 202416 minS0

  <p>New research points to a previously understudied but fascinating mechanism by which environmental factors may lead to autism: it’s called the “GABA/glutamate switch” which is a critical period in development when certain cells turn from turning on cell activity to turning them off. These environmental factors may delay this process leading to long term effects on the developing brain consistent with autism. While this data on the mechanism is brand new, the topic of the environment in autism was inspired by a recent effort at NIEHS which is developing an interactive database for people to access information about...
