AUTISM RESEARCH
Director of the Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development at Birkbeck College, University of London, Professor Mark Johnson, is one of a team of international team of researchers who have found it may be possible to detect autism at a much earlier age than previously thought. The study, published in Current Biology suggests early diagnosis would allow for interventions which could alleviate full symptoms.
