So, we know the heritability is very high, one of the highest for psychiatric disorders that we know of.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
um what is it for other DSM conditions such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia yeah so bipolar and disorder uh in schizophrenia certainly much lower um uh especially um and even things like depression major depression lower still uh so this is actually one of the highest heritable factors in terms of Behavioral Health or psychiatric conditions
my recollection is that the heritability of autism is quite High I don't remember the number can you enlighten me yeah it's um again where it'll be anywhere from 70% to 98% depending again on the definitions used at the time um but it's well over 90% wow I didn't know it was that high I thought it was in the 80s which is still very high am I also correct in my recollection that the heritability of autism is higher than it is for any other condition in the DSM I believe so yeah in other words even schizophrenia even bipolar even depression and things that we know have very strong genetic components none are as high as it is for autism correct
