On Friday, February 19, the NIH organized a workshop on regression in autism. It included autism researchers as well as neurobiologists studying regression in other disorders, specifically Rett Syndrome. Rett Syndrome is characterized by a regression in symptoms around 18-30 months of age but is the result of a known genetic mutation. Because the genetic mutation is know, researchers have been able to make huge advancements in the study of the cellular causes of regression. Do they apply to autism? The theory of overturning is presented and discussed in the workshop and on the podcast.
