Scientists Search for Accurate Autism Diagnosis
, 01 28th, 2009
There’s no scientific method to diagnose autism except through monitoring its symptoms such as social withdrawal, impaired emotional response, and lack of communication skills. There’s no laboratory test available to diagnose autism, thus scientists have been searching for biomarkers that would allow them to diagnose autism more easily. In the Autism news of late, scientists have been looking for abnormal proteins or fluids in the body, including monitoring the saliva of autistic patients. One protein, called phosphorylation, has been identified as having a much lower presence in autistic children versus healthy children.
If Scientists could develop a test for autism, they could identify autistic children or children at risk for autism at birth, rather than waiting until the age of 2 or 3 to identify the symptoms of autism. There is no cure for autism, but treatment is available, and the earlier autism is identified, the easier it is to begin the process of treatment.
