• Resumen

  • The article describes a theory that has been suggested by scientist Michael Wigler, which attempts to explain the genetic basis of autism. The author explains that Wigler's theory relies on the assumption that women are more likely to carry the gene and pass it on to their male offspring than to develop the disease themselves.
