Hello! In one of my neurobio courses in undergrad, I learned that autism is oftentimes caused by an excess of synaptic connections, and that some of these connections are not "pruned" or trimmed during early development, which can lead to autism. Would there be any way in the future to treat this during early development?

Wow! Thank you for replying. My sister has autism and I really appreciate your dedication to research. I wish you the best of luck in your research.

Initially I was thinking about people who have severe autism like my sister. She is mostly non verbal and will never live an independent life. If there was a way to prevent that kind of severe disability I think it would make a world of a difference for those affected and their families.

I think for individuals like yourself, autism is a unique gift. At times it can complicate your life, but like you've said, it's given you some amazing talents and insights.
