🔬 Major breakthrough in autism research!
A new study has identified four distinct autism subtypes, each with its own genetic and developmental profile. This discovery could be a game changer—paving the way for personalized care and more effective therapies for children on the spectrum. 💙
Here’s a quick look at the subtypes:
1️⃣ Social & Behavioral Challenges – Strong autism traits, typical development, more co-occurring conditions like anxiety or ADHD.
2️⃣ Developmental Delay – Delayed milestones with fewer psychiatric symptoms.
3️⃣ Moderate Challenges – Milder autism traits and few additional conditions.
4️⃣ Broadly Affected – Greater delays across multiple areas and more genetic mutations.
Understanding these differences helps doctors and families better support each child’s unique journey—from early diagnosis to tailored treatment. 💡
