Autism research breakthrough: Professor Haitham Amal, Ph.D. from Harvard and Hebrew University discovered that a single overactive molecule in the brain may drive autism symptoms, and blocking it reversed those symptoms in animal models. Nadia Elkhatib sits down with Prof. Amal to break down what this means for autism families.

This conversation covers the science in plain language: what nitric oxide does in the brain, how it connects to the mTOR pathway, why his findings suggest girls with autism may be massively underdiagnosed, and what this could mean for treatment in the coming years.
