Beautiful and Baffling world of profound autism with self-injurious behaviors and epilepsy. The side you won't learn about in college, won't see on TV, movies or read in many autism books.

Recently, we discovered and confirmed ANK3 pLOF here linked to my son's autism, SIB and epilepsy. Research shows ANK3 issues linked to severe autism,but research underfunded and poorly analyzed. So, here we are for you to see. The absurdity of it all, as if we must wait for autism research to validate our lived reality. This warrants an entire new battle strategy to help him. A modified [within scope RX meds] and reasonable OTC supplement (i.e lithium orotate via research showing dendritic rescue) limits--- N=1 observation and reporting.

ANK3-related disorders are a spectrum of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions caused by mutations in the ANK3 gene. Key features include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), intellectual disability, speech delays, ADHD, and seizures.
