A human-accelerated neuron type potentially underlying autism in humans

My father’s (extended) side of the family seems to have once a generation severe autistic case and many of us less severely on the spectrum. Doesn’t seem to exist on my mother’s side with any regularity with similar cohort sizes.

Lots of PhDs and other left brain super functionals on that side that seems to correlate to intellectual attainment as well.

On which side?

Father’s.

Even when it's Fathers all the way up it's turtles all the way down.

If your father's side carries some of those sensitizing variants, it could explain both the cluster of traits and the generational occurrence of more severe ASD cases. That actually fits eerily well with the picture this paper is painting
