Autism may actually be four distinct subtypes, each with its own genetic fingerprint and developmental trajectory.

Although ASD is historically considered more prevalent in males, this assumption may reflect diagnostic bias rather than biological reality.

Dr. Heidi Hillman’s (2025) study explored the application of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback to reduce anger in autistic adolescents.

The identification of the FOXP4 variant marked a turning point in the case formulation, shifting the clinical emphasis toward genomics, mitochondrial assessment, and integrative medicine.

A global drop in amplitude suggests either a disruption in metabolic support—such as mitochondrial failure—or widespread cortical inhibition.

IEDs are not incidental EEG findings, but markers of transient cortical dysfunction that disrupt cognition, emotion, and behavior.

FOXP1 and FOXP2 mutations have been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Spindling excessive beta (SEB) represents a critical neurophysiological marker of cortical dysregulation identifiable on the EEG.
