The baby's way of playing, an indication of autism

A few days ago we knew in the rain a possible factor related to the incidence of autism in children.

The cause of this disease remains unknown, but according to a new study, early detection of autism could be linked with the way the little one has to play with his toys.

Researchers at the University of California Davis have found that the way babies under 24 months play with their toys It is a marker of future development of the illness.

They claim that babies with greater chances of developing autism they play with their toys in an unusual way. They have observed certain attitudes when manipulating them such as turning them repeatedly, staring at them or observing them from the corner of the eye is a characteristic of babies who were later diagnosed with autism.

The theory is quite related to previous research that focused on the direction of baby's eye movement when they look at faces, eyes, or objects moving on a computer screen.

In most cases, autism is usually diagnosed around three years of age, but it is very important to detect it as soon as possible in order to carry out the most effective treatment. Therefore, any clue is important and it seems that by observing the game of babies you can find important signs.
