Researchers have come up with a way to tell if a
baby shows autism signs as early as the first month. They took a group of 110 babies and followed
their progress from birth to age 3. 59
of the babies were classified as having a high risk of autism and 51 were classified
with a lower risk of autism to further relationships of it in the family. The researchers showed the baby a video at
months 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6, 9, 12, 15 and
24 of actresses playing caregivers.
They kept track of the motion of the babies’ eyes and if the baby lost
focus easier it showed sign of autism. http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2013/11/06/study-signs-of-autism-may-show-up-as-early-as-first-month/?hpt=he_c2
