Researchers identified four distinct subtypes of autism using data from over 5,000 children, highlighting a transformative approach to understanding the genetics of autism. By employing a computational model and a person-centered methodology focused on over 230 traits, distinct autism subtypes were linked to specific genetic profiles and developmental trajectories. These subtypes—Social and Behavioral Challenges, Mixed ASD with Developmental Delay, Moderate Challenges, and Broadly Atypical—offer insights into the biology of autism and pave the way for improved diagnosis and personalized interventions.
The research identified four distinct subtypes of autism—Social and Behavioral Challenges, Mixed ASD with Developmental Delay, Moderate Challenges, and Broadly Atypical—that reflect varied genetic and developmental profiles.
Employing a person-centered approach, researchers analyzed over 230 traits to reveal clinically relevant autism subtypes linked to genetic profiles and developmental trajectories.
