Long! Autism and Genetics - was Re: FW: Nati...

[Guest guest]

In a timely article from the Schafer Report, see below. Notice how many children have de novo "chromosomal abnormalities" that wouldn't be expected given the averages

>>At least 1:850 boys (NT & others) has the chromosome abnormality 47XYY very few know about it, I only know because I had amniocentesis because I was such a old bird to be having babies. Mythoery is that being extra male (YY) makes him twice as prone to damage from Mercury.

A high proprtion of the prison population are 47XYY, petty crimes mostly, what issues might XYY present as?

Slow to talk, slow to walk, 'hard to rear', a few points below average IQ, likes own company, grows taller than expected per parental heights, hairy, poor social skills.

Damn, where have I heard all that before???

PS XYY in not inherited they say

I had an amnio centesis with Tom, I wonder if the info is still there

somewhere. I'm sure he's not YY but be interesting to see if there's

any other genetic info there. Of course, whilst they're banging on

abnout genes and autism I'm not sure htey've identified which ones....
