The Evolution of Intelligence in Autism with Dr. Bernard Crespi and Dr. Richard O. Williams


Dr. Bernard Crespi, Dr. Richard Williams, and Dr. Marlo Payne Thurman discuss the topics of evolution, genetics, and biology as they pertain to Autism. With stunning new research that has found significant overlap in the genetic markers for those with autism and those with high intelligence, Dr. Crespi’s research sheds new light on our understanding of potential in autism. This research also provides direction for clinicians and researchers to expand their understanding of diversity in autism and the need for more comprehensive, multi-disciplinary assessments and interventions.
