I did not know they could test an infant by their ability to track with their eye contact or lack of.

After watching this video I realized there was a lot that I was not aware about concerning Autism. I did not know that there were so many genes that have the potential to cause Autism or that the age of the father was a factor. I also did not know that there could be a mutated gene that caused Autism. All of it was very eye opening.

It was interesting to hear that the age of the father can have an effect on whether a child has autism or not.

One thing I didn't know was that obvious signs are most apparent between the ages of 2 and 3. Also glad to know that vaccines don't cause ASD.

I had never heard the connection between aging fathers and ASD before and found that interesting. I learned a little more about the how genetics being a contributing factor in autism. I also thought the eye contact exercise with infants was very interesting. I was not aware that there could be some testing at such a young age.

I had no idea about tracking infants eye to test for Autism, it more dominate in men and how many contributing factor there could be. I am interested in learning more.

I learned that there are 200-400 genes that possibly cause autism if there is an issue with one of them.

I learned that its not 100% that identical twins will both be diagnosed with autism. I was also surprised by the high percentage of all children that are diagnosed with autism. I also found it surprising how there are 200+ genes contributing to autism

Two things I’ve learned: that 25% of autism cases are caused by de novo mutation and (2) there is a screening test for babies whereby their ability to socially connect through eye contact is monitored and interpreted within the autism spectrum.

Genetics is an important factor in many (but not all) people who show signs of autism. Research has identified 200-400 genetic sites that contribute to autistic behaviors. Because genes often work together in “paths” or “networks,” a small change at a genetic site may result in significant autistic behaviors.

That teachers can help identify autism at early age and build and strengthen necessary skills for later in life.

Its very interesting to know of what we don't know about ASD. What I learned is that in Novo Mutation there's only 25%single powerful genetic factor that cause autism, I learned that early detection is very important to be able to make diagnosis of someone who is susceptible at a time in a window who have the ability to impact that growing developing brain.

I learned that there can be multiple factors that cause a child to be at risk. That made it easier for me to understand why the spectrum can be so broad from one person to another. It was a very interesting and informative video. I feel like I can now better explain ASD to someone who has no knowledge or understanding.

I had no idea that there was a link between increasing age of the father at the time of conception and autism. I was also unaware of the eye contact tracking exercise that provides early insight as to whether children may be on the spectrum.

One of things that I got out of the video is that no one person has the same set of issues. All cases are unique as the person. Genetics can play a major role. Early diagnoses is key in helping the person.

I learned more about why it is called Autism Spectrum Disorder, I knew it as ASD but never understood the significance of the spectrum. To me it seemed more of a tabulated formula to place people in ASD but now it does make more sense to use it to categorize individuals with different autism characteristics.

I have a son with ASD, and there was a lot of information in this video that I didn't know. I think the thing that stuck out most was the genetic connection, and just how many genes can be affected. I really loved the volume/paragraph/single letter analogy.

After hearing from many people in the past that vaccinations & autism were linked, it was good to hear that in fact there is no connection. It was also interesting to learn that although genetic, it’s not necessarily passed down by the parents, but caused by a mutated gene that starts with that child.

I did not know that the age of the father could cause autism and that using eye tracking in infants could predict autism. I think we have to keep telling people that vaccines do not cause autism!

I learned that vaccines do NOT cause A.S.D. I learned that 200-400 genes can cause A.S.D. I learned that the older that father could cause A.S.D. I learned that there is a scan that can be preformed on babies to help detect A.S.D.

That autism can be diagnosed at a younger age than I previously had been told. Which can help the child starting at a younger age to help them grow in ways that work for them
