At AutismPI, we believe research into genetic causes of autism is a wild goose chase, simply because genetic causes of disorders with neuro-developmental impacts are well documented throughout history, such as Downs syndrome, Fragile X, Tourette's etc. These are not autism and cause effects that are typically more significant than the neuron damage autism symptoms of speech, socialization, focus and fine motor deficits. Autism symptoms are clearly caused by neuron damage exclusively in the brain, occurring at or around birth, resulting in slow brain processing speeds at various levels.
Our efforts would be to pivot research to focusing on strategies for regeneration and recovery of the central nervous system from birth damage. Damage to the central nervous system has been considered permanent this far, but there are numerous ideas under research that are worthy of pursuit. Some of these ideas include tissue nanotransfection, neuronal stem cells, in-vivo reprogramming of glial cells to become neurons, scar reduction and the like. Damage to the blood brain barrier, inflammation and neuroprotective strategies are some of the other areas to consider. We welcome assistance from all quarters, individuals, organizations, companies joining us in pursuit of this objective. We believe such research has the potential to effectively end autism for those already impacted by it.
