In this week’s  ⁨@USAutism⁩  Feature Video Release Dr. Bernard Crespi, Dr. Richard O. Williams, and Dr. Marlo Payne Thurman discuss the topics of evolution, genetics, and biology as they pertain to autism. With stunning research that has found significant overlap in the genetic markers for those with autism and those with very high intelligence, Dr. Crespi’s research sheds new light on our understanding of potential in autism, with implications for both clinicians and researchers. This discussion expands our understanding of divergence in autism and calls for the need for more comprehensive, multi-disciplinary assessments and interventions.
