Are there any researchers here? Do you find gene research fascinating?

This is amazing. It has me shaking with hope. I pray for their success as quickly as possible.
Maybe we can have a cure or help without medications in my lifetime.
I would like to hear what anyone who does research thinks. What we can expect in the near future?
I am a positive person and I believe that this research will help autistic people.
