contents <p>Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impaired social <br>interaction, communication difficulties, and repetitive behaviours. Emerging evidence suggests that serotonin (5-<br>hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) plays a pivotal role in ASD pathophysiology. Serotonin's widespread influence on <br>neurodevelopmental processes, including neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and neural circuit formation, underscores its <br>significance in ASD research. Hyperserotonemia, a condition marked by elevated blood serotonin levels, has been <br>identified as the first biomarker of ASD, affecting approximately 30% of individuals with the disorder. Genetic studies <br>implicate serotonin transporter (SERT) gene variations, such as the Ala56 variant, in ASD-associated behavioural<br>abnormalities. Functional imaging and biochemical studies reveal disruptions in serotonin synthesis, receptor binding, <br>and transporter activity in autistic individuals.</p>
