It’s great you're staying informed about autism research! In 2025, some really interesting progress was made.

Researchers at Princeton identified four distinct subtypes of autism by looking at genetics and how they relate to different symptoms. This could really change how we approach diagnosis and treatment! Also, Stanford researchers were able to reverse autism-like symptoms in mice by targeting a specific area in the brain, which is a promising step.

The CDC also announced that autism prevalence has risen to 1 in 31 children, likely due to better awareness and screening. You can find more details on the CDC's website.
