And again, certainly a social stressor that could take one off the broader autism phenotype and on to diagnostic territory per social demands exceeding social capacity.
Upload your 23andME or deCODEme genotype to the OpenSNP database, and then share information about your visible traits or phenotype, and you could help scientists discover new genetic associations.
Particularly, when there are no clear neurodevelopmental factors mandatory required for a diagnosis later in life, even with the new DSM5 diagnostic criteria, other than traits than might put one on a broader autism phenotype earlier in life.
It is impossible to prevent a broader autism phenotype, even in what is observed as similar traits in the animal kingdom, nor does it appear that would be beneficial, but it is possible to control environmental factors like this that could make the difference between a broader autism phenotype or diagnosed disorder.
