Infants who later received an autism diagnosis had lower cerebrospinal fluid vasopressin levels.

“wouldn't it be really interesting if we teamed up and we look at this um CSF vaser press finding in children before the period when behavioral symptoms first manifest right”

“do individuals who later receive an Autism diagnosis many months or even years later already have low vasopress levels as infants”

“it was the case so it was a small sample it needs to be replicated but individual so infants that went on to have an Autism diagnosis later in life already had low CSF vasor pressent level oxytocin levels did not differ between infants that received a subsequent autism diagnosis and those that didn't”

“um which is pretty remarkable given that there isn't a biological indicator that we a robust biological IND Ator that we know so basically in this relatively small cohort yeah having low vasopress is the biomarker of autism correct”

“it was the CSF Vasa press and track the social symptom severity not the repetitive symptom severity”

“suggesting that we have a biomarker that you know might really be a good readout for you know clinical referral or risk management monitoring”

“if in the individuals with autism regardless of their um biological sex um that they all had lower CSF phasor presson levels than the individuals without autism”
