Can a hearing test identify autism in babies? Find out right now.
It is a known fact that auditory senses are experienced differently for autistic people to non-autistic people.
So researchers at the university of Miami and Harvey’s Medical School explored responses to the standard hearing test administered to millions of newborns around the world.
They suggest that they are close to a way to detect early indicators of autism in children even as early as at birth.
Now this is a fascinating story and, an interesting way to test for autism.
The research team analyzed nearly 140,000 auditory recordings from babies born in Florida and matched the data with records from the Florida Department of Education indicating children with developmental disabilities.
This is such a futuristic approach to screening for autism, and could allow parents to access help quicker.
