There are definite behaviors associated with autism, and also things that can be done to confirm it — I’m no expert but have learned a little about it. Whatever is done to diagnose this in humans must also work to diagnose it in mice.

Very narrow in this case. It’s strickly relates to Fragile X which is a genetic issue apart from Autism.

My autistic grandson just got his ACT scores today and he had a perfect score in math.

Bless you and your family.. My grandson is autistic, with the same symptoms and challenges as it appears that your son exhibits.. I am grateful that there are some glimmers of light in the offing, and can only hope that they are even slightly successful in treating this all consuming and heartbreaking illness.. That said, with all of the challenges, our boy is the sunshine in all of our lives..

Let me further add that I have seen this child come further then I ever thought possible. It is thought that one day he will drive and go to college.

What a bizarre thing to say. I won’t “chill out” at your command. I have a bigger picture of this than you do, apparently, which includes parents who agonize over their autistic children, wanting them to be able to speak, etc.
