MENTAL HEALTH UNC Researchers Find Hope To Treat Autism Before Symptoms Begin
Quote:
Researchers noted that up to 70 percent of infants who showed signs of increased cerebral spinal fluid would later be diagnosed with autism.
The new findings shed a light on a disorder impacting millions of people, and researchers are trying to understand autism before it develops.
“It means that we might get ahead of the actual occurrence of autism before the symptoms appear, before the brain changes appear, at a time when the brain is most malleable,” researchers concluded.
This confirms something I have been saying for awhile. There has been a lot of talk and fear about genetic elimination of autistics and autism. That attempt has been complicted because there are so many autism related genes. This idea of preventing autism before it begins has the same goal as genetic elimination. I believe it is a largely unstated reason for the frantric push to diagnose kids younger and younger and the unstated goal of pushing hours of ABA on very young children.
