A groundbreaking study published in *Nature Genetics* has identified four biologically distinct autism subtypes, which could lead to more personalized care for families. The subtypes are linked to specific genetic patterns and clinical traits, including social/behavioral differences, sensory sensitivities, and co-occurring conditions like ADHD or anxiety.

This means families may soon have clearer insights into their child’s unique needs, allowing for earlier, more tailored support. Researchers hope this will improve developmental monitoring and treatment options.
