AUTISM: New study tracks onset of autistic regression


From the CEC Smart Brief:

A new University of Washington study on autistic regression used videotapes to document how some children who appear normal as babies stop communicating and interacting with others by age 2. Researchers found children with autistic regression had problems sleeping, eating and being comforted during their first year, although, surprisingly, they had more advanced babbling, speech and pointing skills than children who never developed autism.
