It's great you're looking into the latest autism research! A major breakthrough in 2025 was the identification of four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, thanks to researchers at Princeton and the Simons Foundation. This could really change how we understand and approach autism!

Despite some funding setbacks early in the year, the NIH announced $50 million in funding for the Autism Data Science Initiative, which is fantastic news. Research also showed that telehealth is effective for delivering Caregiver Skills Training, and that these programs can be adapted across different cultures. You can find more details on the Autism Science Foundation or Autism Speaks websites.
