Research Posted by lightfoot on Friday, April 04, 2008 (21:55:14)

by DEBBIE CAFAZZO

Two new University of Washington research studies seek to enroll infants from the Puget Sound region who have autistic older siblings.

One study wants to assess and monitor 100 babies beginning at age 6 months, then again at 12 and 24 months of age. Babies will be given an MRI at each age. MRI images will allow scientists to look for subtle anatomical differences in the babies’ brains at each stage of development.

The other study seeks 200 infants 6 months old or younger with autistic siblings. Babies in this study will be divided into two groups. One group will be monitored by specialists and referred for community treatment. The other group and their mothers will participate in a program at the Seattle UW Autism Center. Mothers will be trained, for example, to engage their infants in eye contact. Mother and child will be videotaped interacting once a week for nine weeks.

Various Articles Posted by lightfoot on Friday, March 28, 2008 (23:16:45)

By MIKE STOBBE and MARILYNN MARCHIONE

For those convinced that vaccines can cause autism, the sad case of a Georgia girl, daughter of a doctor and lawyer, seems like clear-cut evidence. The government has agreed to pay the girl's family for injury caused by vaccines.

But it turns out it's not that simple — and maybe not even a first.
