Bower, B. (2010). Scientists find early signs of autism. Science News, 177(8), 9. Accurate identification of infants likely to develop autism spectrum disorder by age 3 is important because studies indicate that intensive interventions with youngsters who display early warning signs, and with their parents, often yield marked behavioral improvements. Interventions focus on teaching kids basic interaction and communication skills. With my essay this artcle will relate on different treatments of autism.

A new test for diagnosing autism identifies the "first neuro-physiological phenotype" of the condition by looking at patterns of electrical activity in the brain patterns of electrical brain activity could provide a new test for diagnosing classical autism. The information from this article relates on how autism is diagnosed.

The genetic aspects of autism spectrum disorder. It was found that only about five percent of children with autism had at least one "de novo" copy-number variant that had appeared in the egg or sperm forming the embryo or in the fertilized egg. The findings also reveal that copy-number variants inherited from parents were more common in the autistic cohort than in controls. This information will relate to how genetics and mutation lead to autism.
