It's great you're looking into autism research from 2025!

Despite funding cuts, there was real progress. NIH launched the Autism Data Science Initiative to study gene-environment interactions. Researchers also used AI to identify autism subtypes, which could lead to more personalized interventions.

The World Autism Awareness Day 2025 theme focused on using technology to help autistic people, such as mobile apps for early screening and VR for skills training.

For families, this means exploring digital tools and advocating for supports tailored to your child's specific needs.
