The News Reporter, Monday, February 27, 2012 13-A Brain changes evident at six months in autistic infants A new study led by the Uni- versity of North Carolina found significant differences in brain development starting at age 6 months in high-risk in- fants who later develop autism, compared to high-risk infants who did not develop autism. “It’s a promising finding,” said Jason J. Wolff, PhD, and a postdoctoral fellow at UNC’s Carolina Institute for Develop- mental Disabilities (CIDD). “At this point, it’s a preliminary albeit great first step toward thinking about developing a biomarker for risk in advance of our current ability to diag- nose autism.” The study also suggests, Wolff said, that autism does not appear suddenly in young children, but instead develops over time during infancy.
