So they engineer mice to lack a specific amount of a protein and then assume the behavior of these mice is akin to autism, seriously! The human brain is not complex, the human brain is no more complex than the Linksys router I use at home, all the brain does is relay information. Have these researchers did post mortems on an equal number of people who were not autistic or better still checked the levels in a similar number of living people who are not autistic. Bet they would find a similar sample with the same lower level of this nSR100 protein.
