🧬 In honour of Autism Acceptance Month, we’re shedding light on the connection between ASH1L and autism.

ASH1L is a gene that plays a critical role in early brain development, helping regulate how other genes turn on and off. When there are changes in this gene, it can impact how neural pathways form and communicate.

Research has identified ASH1L as a high-confidence autism risk gene, meaning there is strong evidence linking it to autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

For some families, an autism diagnosis is part of a broader ASH1L-related neurodevelopmental condition, providing important answers and a clearer path to support.

💛 Autism looks different for everyone. Understanding genetic links like ASH1L helps grow awareness, compassion, and care.
