I saw an encouraging article on CNN.com about gene discoveries and autism. I’ll admit I had to read it a few times to really grasp it.
What I find hopeful is that, for some children, therapy can “turn on” genes that were stuck in the “off” position. The article states: "There are ways that are being discovered to activate genes...This might be an unanticipated way of developing therapies in the long term for autism: Identifying these kids where all the right genes are present, just not turned on in the right way."
CNN.com has all the details.
