6/ Autism isn’t one thing.
It’s made up of many overlapping genetic stories.
CHD8 is one of the clearest we’ve found. But it is one of more than a hundred genes found to play a role.
And it’s helping science move from “mystery” to mechanism.

2/ What is CHD8?
It’s a gene that helps manage how DNA is packed and which other genes get turned on during brain development.
It’s called a chromatin remodeler — kind of like the foreman for early brain construction.
