As per recent reports, it has been revealed according to a recently concluded study, which has been made available in the recent edition of the journal Current Biology, that there exist fairly high chances of detecting the susceptibility of catching autism at a much younger age than it was earlier believed.

During the course of the study, which was carried out by researchers from the Birkbeck College, University of London, a large number of medical experts along with various leading researchers from all over the world were keenly focused on studying the risk of autism in children aged as young as five.

The international study has, therefore, discarded the theories of autism risk, which were provided by various studies conducted earlier in this regard. The researchers were successful in identifying various influential variations in brainwaves of kids aged around six months.

It has come to light that a plentiful of behavioral indications related to autism generally tend to develop around the first and second birth anniversary of children.

On the other hand, it has been revealed by various autism charities that spotting the ailment and its symptoms in the nick of time can in actual fact provide a world of assistance in the treatment of the said disease.

It is believed that one out of every 100 kids in the United Kingdom has a typical autism spectrum infirmity. Though the disorder hold no monopoly for any specific gender and can therefore prove detrimental for all and sundry, it has been claimed by researchers that it almost always affect boys in the majority of cases as compared to girls. Despite the fact that the said disorder has been in the frame since long, medical science is yet to come up with any kind of effective treatment for autism. However, managing some vital aspects like behavioral programmes, proper awareness and education may well hold the aces needed for getting an edge over the potentially disastrous disorder.

While expressing his opinion in this regard, Prof. Mark Johnson, one of the lead researchers from the Birkbeck College, claimed: “The prevailing view is that if we are able to intervene before the onset of full symptoms, such as a training programme, at least in some cases we can maybe alleviate full symptoms”.
