This blog highlights some information that I was told about today from a friend who actually does research on fruit flies. I thought it was interesting and got online as soon as I could. Sure enough, the fruit flies are being studied in the US at a university and the studies are inconjunction with finding a gene that is connected to Autism.
Thought I would pass it along…
and here are some more links I found too (if you are interested):
University of North Carolina Healthcare blogger (this one is probably the most informative and reliable)
