Would this mean gene-therapy could potentially undo autism? Also, since I believe it's now actually agreed upon that autism rates actually ARE increasing, and not just increased diagnoses, is there any candidate theory as to why mutations would be higher in developed countries recently?

Older parents is the presumption.
