Signs of autism in infants can be spotted: Study
US-based researchers were able to detect signs of autism with 80 percent accuracy in infants with autistic older siblings. MRI scans of infants at 6,12, and 24 months of age showed that babies who developed autism experienced a hyper-expansion of brain surface area from six to 12 months. The study would help ''intervene'' autism before its diagnosis, said the lead.
