Great insights from Mike on autism...

"I have earlier argued that the probable basis of autism is the inheritance of genetic faults potentially exacerbated by environmental factors that add to processing “noise” in the developing brain. Several hundred genetic faults affecting the maturation of inhibitory or excitatory processes in the brain, or affecting processes crucial to the brain’s experience-driven maturation could be expected to contribute additively to “brain noise” genesis.
