(October 13, 2009) Richard Dolmetsch, Assistant Professor of Neurobiology at Stanford, discusses the functions of the brain and the nervous system as they relate to autistic disorders.

    Grunya Efimovna Sukhareva from Ukraine, was the first to define Autism and what was later given credit to the men spoken of in this video. She wrote and published her findings in Russian and it took time to be translated into German. Asperger would likely have read her work as with his colleague. The stats here are out of date and in reality, it's the minority of those diagnosed with what is considered severe challenges.This is a dated video, much has been learned in neuroscience since this lecture. Additionally and more importantly, stats hare being corrected. Huge numbers of populations were excluded which are why numbers appear on the surface to be increasing. They were always there. The twin issue could probably be explained today as cells do have more independent decision making capability that previously recognized. Genes can hold in them more than one characteristic which can be turned on and off at the genes will. Many experts do not believe that this is a disease, this seems to be more of an USAmerican issue with funding, supports and categorizing terms. My preferred term for ASD is ASC. Autism Spectrum 'Condition' though in my opinion, that word could easily become Characteristic. The mutations have been an asset to humanity in the past and will be again. People with Autism should not be left out of this research not in a usery way, but as researchers. Our perspective is compelling and very different.

    I'm not comfortable with this line of thinking becoming the norm. Some of us don't feel that way. Some of us want to change ourselves and figure out the ins-and-outs of our biology. If you want to stay that way, you should have that choice. But to someone like me , it's a disease that affects my life and relationships everyday. Edit: And btw, Even with a diagnosis, I didn't need to have a doctor tell me that to know it.

    I understand where you ate coming from, as someone with learning disabilities, physical impairments, and mental health issues. But the truth is it is a disease. With autism there is somthiny wrong with the brain, parts are not working the way God designed them to work. But this dosen't mean you have to be limited or live a bad life. You are free to accomplish anything you feel you are able to do. Coming to terms with being different and sick are important. People like us need extra help and are different, but that is OK. That is true diversity.

    "Essentially all such drugs change ... a neurotransmitter." That got me thinking... are there any neuropharmaceuticals that do not work through mimicking a neurotransmitter or inhibiting its breakdown or releasing it or in general somehow doing something with a neurotransmitter. The one example I can think of is lithium; I understand that people aren't quite sure how it works even now, but it may not necessarily involve neurotransmitters.

    You may be interested in reading about the teratogenic effects of glyphosate, and multigenerational genetic variation. Chemicals are stored in human body fat. A pregnant human has a high percentage of body fat, especially in a generally overweight society. It's a toxic milieu. Please read research in "neuroimmunology" and "psychoneuroimmunology", yes, these are research areas very fruitful for autism related disorders. Astrocytes & glial cells are responsible for the development of neurons & synapses. They are also immunomodulatory! Interesting how immune system function is not discussed in the autism-sphere...look who funds the funders and you will know why!

    I don't know why everyone's freaking out because he's calling autism a disease. When you're discussing facts, when you're discussing it from a scientific point of view, it's a disease. If that offends you I wouldn't recommend watching scientific lecture on how autism works that is done by a scientist. lol That being said, I don't think this is the best lecture in terms of structure. He drags on and he's kind of all over the place, which is something you want to avoid when discussing neurobiology. It's confusing enough already .

    Autism and memory impairment is certainly associated. The amount of aluminum found in the brains of autistic children is imperative to link autism to Alzheimer's and smelters disease. The established effects of aluminum ingestion. The effects of fish oil and cold water fish is established for treatment of Alzheimer's and should be used to treat autism. It is possible to get some restoration of function with memory practice games and cold water fish. Concentration card game and cold water fish is significant improvement.

    autistic people are supposed to interpret language more literally, and "disease" is defined as "A disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, esp. one that produces specific signs or symptoms..." so he's using the word "disease" correctly and your interpretation seem a bit too "non-literal" and off the point

    This lecturer did not tell the truth about Phineas Gage; who, it has been documented, got along with people fine in the years following his accident. Phineas continued to work for others; and, supported himself until he passed away. Why this lecturer had to lie about that is odd. However, coincidentally, this lecturer followed up his bashing of Phineas Gage by comparing Phineas's alleged getting into fights and drinking heavily with a barbed jab at the Republican Party in the United States. And this, during a lecture on what is supposed to be an objective lesson on brain research. Interestingly, it was noted at the beginning of the lecture, this speaker who compares those of the Republican Party with a contrived similarity to anti-social, heavy drinkers was the recipient of a generous, 2.5 million dollar research grant. This tax-payer funded University in California seemingly must have a grossly biased and prejudicial agenda to propagate by allowing this to air; especially with blatant historical errors; and, sadly, notably unedited. .

    To be quite honest, I really do not know why people are trying to find the biological technicalities of autism. Curing an autistic human biologically has to be totally different than psychologically. If it were to occur biologically, then you would not find the joys of autism. Psychologically, you can have them become a more social person than ever before, and they would still have those amazing gifts.

    Yes, they are gifted people. Yet their struggles are often frustrating for them as well. It is well understood that the many genetic factors collectively cause distressing dysfunction in their bodies and minds. Sensory processing difficulties are exhausting. Social communication deficits make the world a cruel place for them. Many people with autistic traits have lack of enzymes to break down food proteins. They also have differences in how their bodies process metals in the environment. Some people accumulate toxic levels of heavy metals while others can process and excrete them, all due to enzyme and metabolic factors, individual biochemistry. We live in a chemical-laden world, and some people accumulate toxic chemicals while others can excrete. He talks about the ion channels, electrical potentials, and a little bit of metabolic signalling.
