The development of 6-month-old babies who are diagnosed with autism
in toddlerhood is very similar to that of children without autism, a new
study suggests.
"We always thought that if a child had autism, we would be
able to tell during infancy . . . but we were wrong," said study author
Rebecca Landa, director of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders
at Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore. "At 6 months of age, babies who end up with autism by age 3 are scoring similarly on tests to children who didn't have autism."
