To allow studying the genetic causes of autism spectrum disorder, a Kobe University research team created a bank of 63 mouse embryonic stem cell lines containing the mutations most strongly associated with the disorder. The achievement was made possible b

    Wow… right at the end:

    He adds: “Interestingly, the genetic variants we studied are also implicated in other neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. So, this library may be useful for studying other conditions as well.”

    These have been harder to pin down than autism spectrum. So this could have some pretty profound consequences.

      Yeah; despite this study essentially saying “we can now reliably manufacture the inheritable attributes that trigger ASD in mice, and have eliminated the ones not directly implicated.”

      Somehow this will be interpreted as “proof that scientists are causing Autism by adding chemicals to our <insert thing here>.”
