1977 Twin Study Reveals Strong Genetic Link to Autism
A 1977 study on twins showed a strong genetic link to autism; identical twins had a 90% chance of both having autism if one did, while fraternal twins had a 34% chance. This shifted understanding from solely environmental factors to recognizing a significant genetic component, though the precise gen...
