When I first dove into the new Nature Genetics paper from Princeton and the Simons Foundation, one thing jumped out: autism isn’t a single “spectrum condition” with one genetic story.
Thanks for summarizing the study so clearly, Brice. I read it too, and while I appreciate the scientific depth, I found myself deeply uneasy with the framing — particularly how divergence is still so often described in terms of deficit and delay.
As someone diagnosed later in life, I wrote a personal response that looks at the study through a different lens — one grounded in lived experience rather than clinical categorization.
