Polygenic and developmental profiles of autism differ by age at diagnosis - Nature A study of several longitudinal birth cohorts and cross-sectional cohorts finds only moderate overlap in genetic variants between autism that is diagnosed earlier and that diagnosed later, so they may represent aetiologically different conditions.

In @nature.com "The age at which a person is diagnosed with #autism can be partly explained by genetic factors."

SISYPHUS PUSHING A HUGE BOULDER UP A STEEP, ROCKY MOUNTAIN. "In Greek mythology, Sisyphus or Sisyphos is the founder and king of Ephyra. He reveals Zeus's abduction of Aegina to the river god Asopus, thereby incurring Zeus's wrath. His subsequent cheating of death earns him eternal punishment in the underworld, once he dies of old age. The gods forced him to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity". Wikipedia

Despite these positive developments, there is still more to do to ensure diagnosis and support for people with dementia are not delayed due to cultural and language barriers. We need to continue expanding supports, including: Specialist dementia training for interpreters: to handle repetitive speech, non-linear conversation and culturally specific expressions. Language and dementia awareness training for health workers: to understand why language loss happens and how to adapt care to address cognitive decline and also consider overall wellbeing. Better matching of interpreters: including age, dialect and cultural familiarity, especially in dementia-related contexts. Expanding the bilingual workforce: hiring more health-care workers who share the languages and cultures of local communities, particularly in rural, regional and remote areas. Culturally tailored dementia resources: booklets, videos, and support groups in multiple languages, co-designed with community members.

The quote above, in context.

The quote above, in context.

“Evidence is information that comes closest to the facts of a matter. The form it takes depends on the context. The findings of high-quality, methodologically appropriate research are the most accurate evidence. Because research is often incomplete and sometimes contradictory or unavailable, other kinds of information are necessary supplements to or stand-ins for research. The evidence base for a decision is the multiple forms of evidence combined to balance rigour with expedience—while privileging the former over the latter.” Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (2005, p. 9)

It has recently been suggested that GLP/NLA intervention be embraced as a neurodiversity-affirmating practice (Haydock et al., 2024).(Neurodiversity refers to the idea that people interact in many different ways and that a difference is not a deficit to be fixed.) Some aspects of GLP/NLM intervention, such as embracing autistic communication, are consistent with neurodiversity. However, GLP/NLA is also associated with numerous ideas and clinical strategies that lack theoretical and empirical support. For this reason, Venker and Lorang (2025) believe it is premature to embrace GLP/ NLM as a neurodiversity-affirmative practice. Clinicians who are employing a GLP approach are generally adamant that they observe changes in their clients. That is quite possible, and probably likely, but the changes they observe may not be due to the premises of the GLP framework but rather to factors in the therapeutic interactions that might be found in many language interventions.
