Ha, you're going to love this. Especially those of you who are all 'autism is not a disease'. I'm on your side too btw.

Scientists have isolated a set of proteins that accounts for over 130 brain diseases, including diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsies and forms of autism and learning disability. The team showed that the protein machinery has changed relatively little during evolution, suggesting that the behaviors governed by and the diseases associated with these proteins have not changed significantly over many millions of years. The findings open several new paths toward tackling these diseases.

I'm interested in the science but I think there's more to autism than just these proteins.
