The deletion of ~25 genes on chromosome 7 in Williams Syndrome affects oxytocin regulation and amygdala function differently than the neurobiological patterns in autism, creating distinct social-cognitive profiles despite the superficial similarities you've noted.
- FollowingTheDao 1y agoOxytocin plays such a small role in Autism and it is not consistent across the disorder. I have Aspergers but I react much like someone with Williams Syndrome. For example, I usually end up crying when I see live music, even more so when I experience live tribal music, for instance, at a Powwow.
