This is an important direction for autism research, particularly because it moves the conversation away from treating the spectrum as biologically uniform.
What I find important here is the distinction between saying “autism is more than one condition” and saying “this study has identified multiple separate types of autism.” The findings suggest that people diagnosed earlier versus later in development can have different developmental trajectories and genetic profiles, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we can already define distinct biological subtypes.
