The Beautiful and Baffling world of profound autism with self-injurious behaviors and epilepsy. The side you won't learn about in college, won't see on TV, movies or read in many autism books. This is the autism researchers often run from, due to the effort it takes to study. Much easier to recruit compliant verbal people labeled autistic. That's the hard truth.
Recently, we discovered and confirmed ANK3 monoallelic pLOF here linked to my son's autism and epilepsy. Research shows ANK3 issues linked to severe autism,but underfunded and poorly analyzed. But here we are for you to see. The absurdity of it all, as if we must wait for research to validate our reality. This has opened an entire new molecular battle strategy to help him. And we WILL find better treatment.
