About this site

Decoding Autism Now

Decoding Autism Now publishes the Biology of Autism (BoA) / Immune-Derived Autism (IDA) framework — a systems-biology cascade model connecting gut pH dysregulation, immune activation, IDO1/kynurenine pathway dysregulation, SST-14 interneuron suppression, and neuropeptide cascade failure to the observable ASD phenotype.

All framework documentation is available at no cost at decodingautismnow.com.

For families

Where to start

If you are new to the framework, the Parent's Guide and FAQ pages are the best starting points. The L1-79 analysis includes a downloadable plain-language PDF written for families to share with their child's physician.
