[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is pure science research. It doesn't have a direct application. But without pure science research that may feel like a "colossal waste of money," you can't develop therapies that aren't a "colossal waste of money"[/quote]

It’s not “pure science.” It’s a poorly designed study leading to no benefit to actual people much less any therapies. [/quote]

Pure science doesn't typically lead to "benefit to actual people" - it just advances our collective understanding.[/quote]

Nothing about this advances understanding. [/quote]

I really disagree with this. Did you read the study?[/quote]

Dp here.  I think a more accurate way to phrase it would be:
Nothing about this advances pur understanding of autism, for those of us who have managed to read anything about autism in the past 8 years or so.
It also looks very much like they copied the work of a woman who has been independently categorizing autism genes.  The difference being the academics had access to the spark data.[/quote]
