Autism Science Foundation Weekly Science Report show

Summary: Hear what you missed if you were unable to attend the Seaver Autism Conference on September 25th!  <a href="https://www.ucl.ac.uk/npp/NeurosciencePhD/supervisors/dskuse">Dr. David Skuse </a>discusses “where are all the girls with autism”, summarizing evidence that some girls with high verbal IQ and autism might be missed, suggesting genes associated with high IQ may be protective against a diagnosis until adolescence.  Also, ASF grantee <a href="http://anticeviclab.yale.edu/people/jennifer_foss-feig.profile">Dr. Jennifer Foss-Feig</a> describes how biomarkers can be used to improve personalized medicine.  Finally, a summary and review of the new air pollution systematic review and meta analysis.  Limited evidence does not equal none, and air pollution is a real problem.  Here is a link to the paper:  http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0161851.  All in 12 minutes.<br>
