Title: Is Autism Only Genetic?
If autism is purely genetic, why haven't researchers identified a single set of genes that explains every autism diagnosis?
In this clip from *Autism Explained*, Greer McGuiness discusses why autism is still an area of ongoing research. She explores the idea that while genetics play an important role, they may not tell the whole story for every child.
The conversation also looks at how nutrition, gut health, environmental factors, and other biological differences may contribute to a child's overall health and development alongside their diagnosis.
The goal isn't to have all the answers—it's to keep asking thoughtful questions and continue learning how we can better support every child as an individual.
