Here is a news article about autistic kids and affecting a set of genes that are highly influenced by experience and its related neural activity. Reminds one of Steven King's disowned cyber-schlok movie -
'The Lawnmower Man' in which a vaguely autistic Jeff Fahey is exposed to a mad media scientist's well-meaning neural massages. The cyber treatments take the form of an 80's virtual immersion system which strings together flying sequences cut with hermetic / rosicrucian symbols flashed in rapid sequences. Jeff Fahey becomes an uber neuralnaut, righting a few personal wrongs before losing control of his vast cosmic powers and infecting a closed military network (ah the good old days of 'secure' networks) and threatening the world as we know it - see it for the ending.
