Baby Babbling and Austim

Scientists have recently discovered that the cute babbling done by babies may in fact predict if a child will have autism. The scientists working on the case determined that the babbling between babies with the disorder and babies without have different babbling.

Scientists and doctors are able to use vocal technology, predicting with up to 86% accuracy if a child will develop the disorder.

Many are hopeful that this could bring a change to the diagnosis and treatment of autism. If children are identified earlier as having the disease, they will be screened and diagnosed earlier, and able to begin effective programs much earlier.

Autism is a disease that effects around 1 in 150 babies. In the UK, about 500,000 have some variation of the disorder.

While this information is still new and being researched, many doctors are celebrating.. this could be the dawn of something great in the fight against autism.
