We contacted the autism brain back here in the United Kingdom, where they had brain tissues from 10 individuals who died with the diagnosis of autism.
Five of those brains were suitable for quantitative analysis, where we could measure how much aluminium was present.
And all 10 were suitable to use our very, our beautiful technique of imaging aluminium in tissue and brain tissue.
And that's what we did.
And when my PhD student who did the first measurements of the aluminium, how much aluminium there was in the brain tissue, came to me with the results, I told her to go back and look at all of this again, because we thought we had seen astronomical amounts of aluminium in familial Alzheimer's disease.
and then we saw values at least as high in autism brain tissue.
And as I wrote eventually in the publication that we made in the abstract,
you know, why a 15-year-old boy brain when he died would have amounts of aluminium
almost never measured before is almost incomprehensible.
