Taking prenatal multivitamins may reduce the risk of having a child who has autism with intellectual disability, another vaccine-autism link study is being retracted, and schizophrenia sometimes accompanies autism.

A new method offers an efficient way to examine gene expression in individual cells from postmortem brains.

A gene called TRIO may be a hotbed for autism mutations, an international collaboration focuses on the whole brain and one behavior, and Autism Speaks cuts grant spending.

Mutations that appear in only some of the body’s cells contribute to autism in about 4 percent of people with the condition.

A monkey study suggests facial recognition is not innate, a puzzle piece symbol carries negative connotations, and scientists are using a federal law to snoop on colleagues.

Children with autism are genetically more similar to one another than to a group of unaffected siblings.

Scientists this week announced the release of nearly 7,000 whole-genome sequences from a collection of families that each have one child with autism.

Transcranial treatment may bolster memory in adults with autism, inflammatory molecule may alter an emotional brain region in newborns, and examining ants could yield insights into autism

A large study of minute mutations in people with developmental conditions, including autism, has uncovered 200 potential risk genes.

People with autism aren’t easily surprised, the social camouflage some girls and women with autism use may preclude diagnosis, and autism-related genes are rooted deep in human ancestry.
