Challenging the Developmental Substructure Model for Autism: A Perspective From Causal Statistics.

Autism research : official journal of the International Society for Autism Research - 1 Aug 2026

McWeeny Sean, Ewen Joshua B

Abstract excerpt

The extent to which core autism traits-social interaction, communication, and restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs)-share a cause or have independent causes (e.g., fractionable triad model) has been a central debate in the field for decades. The latest iteration of this debate has reckoned with molecular genetic evidence that has largely failed to reproduce twin study heritability estimates. Against this...
