Do you know the warning signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder and what to look for concerning Autism. Autism Spectrum Disorder we are told is a missing link of the brain that is not fully developed. Some refer to this missing part of the brain as X chromosome 15, a region known as chromosome 15q 11 - q13. 

Individuals have extra copies (referred to as duplications) of this region on chromosome 15. Findings suggest, that these duplications on chromosome 15 may contribute to the development of Autism. Other Researches have found evidence that certain genes on the X chromosome may influence social interaction skills. Males only have one X chromosome, which further explains why some disorders, known as X-Linked Disorders, are more common in men then women. Females carry two X chromosomes (one able to borrow from the other). Because more males have autism then females, research suspected for a long time, there might be a gene(s) on the X chromosome as being a major cause in Autism, along with affecting social interaction, could still contribute to behaviors associated with Autism.
