    How Mutations In A Suspect Gene May Give Rise To Autism, Schizophrenia

    Yeah , Unsure something is fishy. Sounds like they are trying to consolidate disorders even tighter so they can be less generous with criteria of what constitutes a need for support.... Alzheimer's is hella more like "adult onset" autism than bipolar is. Most bipolar that have been in my life...

    I remember well being 10, but I was long since diagnosed, in private Catholic school that was quite fierce on decorum... which includes no bullying.
