Study explores early signs of autism | Canada | News | Toronto Sun: "CALGARY - Infants' response to speech patterns could hold clues to the early detection of autism, say University of Calgary researchers.
A study of infants whose siblings are already diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) suggests recognizing characteristics of early speech development and communication could allow for quicker treatment, said Suzanne Curtin.
'The sooner we can see differences in behaviours that are specific to infants who go on to receive a diagnosis of ASD, the sooner we can send these infants to targeted intervention programs,' said Curtin, head of the U of C's speech development lab."
