| 520 | |a Is there a gene for autism? Despite a billion-dollar, twenty-year effort to find out, no single autism gene has been identified. In Multiple Autisms, Jennifer S. Singh sets out to discover how autism emerged as a genetic disorder and how this affects those who study and live with autism. This is the first sustained analysis of the scientific practices, politics, and meaning of autism genetics from a scientific, cultural, and social perspective. In 2004, when Singh began her research, the prevalence of autism was reported as 1 in 150 children. Ten years later, the number had jumped to 1 in 100, with the disorder five times more common in boys than in girls. Meanwhile the diagnosis changed to "autistic spectrum disorders," and investigations began to focus more on genomics than genetics, less on single genes than on hundreds of interacting genes. Multiple Autisms maps the social history of parental activism in autism genetics, the scientific optimism about finding a gene for autism and the subsequent failure to do so, and the cost in personal and social terms of viewing and translating autism through a genomic lens. -- from back cover. | ||
