Glia cells are depicted in green. Neurons (blue) are born in the ventricular zone (VZ) and migrate along the glia fibers. The cortex is formed in an inside-out fashion such that later-born neurons pass through earlier-born neurons in deeper layers (lighter blue shading). In autism, the complex process of neural migration, placement, alignment and connection is impaired.(Diagram from Gilbert and Man, Front. Cell.

Autism has become so prevalent that more than 2% of boys born in California in 2012 have ended up as autism cases in the Department of Developmental Services. The drop-off after 2012 births reflects the lag of cases entering the system, not a decrease in prevalence.

Synthetic drugs, including those used in pregnancy, boomed during the postwar decades. In addition, maternal smoking peaked in the 1960s. Some examples of common pregnancy drugs from the 1950s and 60s, pictured clockwise from top left: anti-nausea, anti-anxiety, synthetic steroid hormones [pictured here, an ad for the notoriously toxic drug DES], volatile anesthetic gases, tobacco, barbiturates, amphetamines/methamphetamines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a43f3acf9a61e04cdd465e7/1551659111697-YZVZJIEWUKEEQB4DM4NW/prenatal+record.png Blog - “Quasi-Genetics” at the Roots of Autism? Pregnancies of the post-war era were often heavily medicated with chemical compounds that were entirely unprecedented in the human womb. Here, for example, a medical record from 1965 shows that a pregnant woman in Boston was prescribed synthetic steroid hormones, diuretics, anti-nausea drugs, analgesics, and sedatives, among other drugs such as insulin for Type 1 diabetes. While any quasi-genetic impact is of course unknown, it is worth noting that three of the woman’s grandchildren exhibit multiple idiopathic neurodevelopmental abnormalities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a43f3acf9a61e04cdd465e7/1551145959870-OEMFDMWEM37FEQ3AQ5YO/DESpillbottles.jpg Blog - “Quasi-Genetics” at the Roots of Autism? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a43f3acf9a61e04cdd465e7/1551146020848-VV3RVK5O8FL2XZ1DHGEH/Screen+Shot+2019-02-25+at+4.08.46+PM.png Blog - “Quasi-Genetics” at the Roots of Autism? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a43f3acf9a61e04cdd465e7/1551146171644-CTMXG8H7SOFKQWHQLNJ0/Screen+Shot+2019-02-25+at+5.55.43+PM.png Blog - “Quasi-Genetics” at the Roots of Autism? https://www.ncsautism.org/blog/2019/2/28/w1qbrb5q5pegkuul3y2sfjdn7oza8p monthly 0.5 2019-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a43f3acf9a61e04cdd465e7/1551388536152-X6XJVXI6VE2J3U4O8619/NateJT.jpg Blog - Medical Cannabis: One Mother’s Journey with Her Severely Autistic Son Nate on his third day of cannabis, in June 2015.

In early development, brain cells, labeled (a), surround the core cavities of the brain before they migrate to the cortex. They make their way through the white matter of the brain in order to reach the cortical plate (b), or future cerebral cortex. In autism, this process is often disrupted.

In this photograph they are present as nodules abutting the central cavities (ventricles) of the brain. These cellular agglomerations are usually foci of seizures.

WE HOLD THESE “TRUTHS” How to Spot the Myths That Are Holding America Back The filibuster forces compromise. Bipartisanship is dead. Term limits will fix Congress. The Supreme Court has become too political. Conversations about politics in America are replete with convenient falsehoods. Parroted by those who benefit from the chaos, these myths distort the public’s understanding of government—how it works, what is possible—and prevent positive change. When citizens feel frustrated and hopeless, they skip the voting booth and retreat to comfortable echo chambers. In We Hold These “Truths,” Casey Burgat, George Washington University professor and former congressional staffer, leads a bipartisan group of the country’s foremost political experts to expose the lies fueling American political dysfunction. They debunk accepted talking points—about lobbyists, money in politics, partisanship, the Constitution, and more—and reveal how the U.S. government actually works. By upending the foundational myths at the heart of American politics, We Hold These “Truths” empowers citizens to see past clever distractions and demand the kind of government that will actually bring about positive change.
