Autism - Broadened Phenotype or Expanded Autistic Spectrum The broadened phenotype usually includes family members of autistic individuals. Since autism has a significant genetic and hereditary influence, relatives of those diagnosed with ASD may also present certain traits compatible with the spectrum, but not enough to meet all the criteria described by the DSM-5-TR. However, because these individuals also seek support and sometimes have occasional complaints, researchers have also investigated their neurobiological and behavioral functioning. And the conclusion was that, yes, there is a spectrum beyond autism. The broadened phenotype is not a diagnosis, but it characterizes a portion of the population that is between neurotypical and neuroatypical. #femaleautism #femalespectrum #extendedphenotype ______ ????
