Gastrointestinal symptoms not linked to later autism
Children with autism are no more likely than children without autism to have had gastrointestinal disorders, finds a study in this week`s BMJ. Researchers at Boston University identified 96 children with autism from the UK General Practice Research Database between 1988 and 1999. Each case was matched with up to five children without autism. They... view more... (2002-08-21)
Research tool can detect autism at 9 months of age
The ability to detect autism in children as young as nine months of age is on the horizon, according to researchers at McMaster University. view more (2008-05-21)
Possible to detect causes of autism in over a third of cases
It may be possible to find the causes for autism in over a third of cases, suggests research in the Journal of Medical Genetics. And these are likely to include a range of factors. view more (2002-03-11)
Autism problems explained in new research
New research from Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute helps to explain why children with autism spectrum disorders (autism) have problem-solving difficulties. view more (2005-10-25)
IACC includes vaccine research objective in strategic plan for autism research
Autism Speaks is encouraged by yesterday's decision of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) to include vaccine research studies in the objectives of the updated Strategic Plan for Autism Research. view more (2009-11-12)
First autism prevention study launched by University of Washington
Autism researchers at the University of Washington will take the initial step in attempting to prevent the developmental disorder when they launch an $11.3 million study this week. view more (2008-01-03)
USC researchers identify gene variant associated with both autism and gastrointestinal dysfunction
A study led by researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) and Vanderbilt University have identified a specific gene variant that links increased genetic risk for autism with gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. view more (2009-03-02)
Groundbreaking findings on autism to be presented at Carnegie Mellon international symposium
Today's autism research draws on a variety of scientific disciplines, from genetics to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to neural development. At the 35th Carnegie Symposium on Cognition, "Development and Brain Systems in Autism," 16 of the world's most prominent autism researchers will present their latest groundbreaking... view more...

The first autism disease genes
The autistic disorder, a neurodevelopmental disease first described in 1943, represents a challenge for treatment and a puzzle for research. Alongside Asperger syndrome, a milder form of the disorder, autism is classified in the continuum of various Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), all of which are characterized by deficits in language, social... view more...

Children with both autism and ADHD often bully, parents say
Children with both autism and attention deficit or attention deficit hyperactivity disorders are four times more likely to bully than children in the general population, according to a study released today in the journal, Ambulatory Pediatrics. view more (2007-05-18)
1 month post launch, Interactive Autism Network reports 13,000 participants
The Interactive Autism Network (IAN)—the first national online autism registry spearheaded by the Kennedy Krieger Institute—has registered an unprecedented number of individuals and families living with autism. view more (2007-05-14)
Autism gene identified by researchers at Yale working with a global research consortium
Yale School of Medicine autism experts Fred Volkmar, M.D. and Ami Klin are part of a global research consortium from 19 countries to identify a gene and a region of a chromosome that may lead to autism in children. view more (2007-03-14)
Kids with autism may have gene that causes muscle weakness
Some kids with autism may have a genetic defect that affects the muscles, according to research that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology 60th Anniversary Annual Meeting in Chicago, April 12-19, 2008. view more (2008-04-14)
Infants with autistic siblings may display early social, communication problems
Younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders do not perform as well on tests of social and communication development compared with siblings of children without developmental problems at ages as young as 12 months. view more (2007-04-03)
Further evidence refuting link between MMR vaccine and autism (p 963)
A UK study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET provides further evidence that measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) immunisation is not associated with the development of autism or other pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) in children. view more (2004-09-08)
Measles Mumps Rubella and mercury-based immunizations cleared as causes of autism
Pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) like autism and Asperger Syndrome have been on the rise for years. Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccines and thimerosal—containing vaccines (which are approximately 50 percent ethylmercury) have been suggested as possible causes. view more (2006-07-05)
Children with autism show slower pupil responses, MU study finds
Autism affects 1 in 150 children today, making it more common than childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. view more (2009-11-11)
Different genes may cause autism in boys and girls
Like detectives trying to solve a murder case, researchers searching for the biological cause of autism have come up with some surprising suspects. view more (2006-08-01)
Autism Speaks' genetic resource exchange, tissue program support findings published in Nature
Autism Speaks' Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE) and the Autism Tissue Program (ATP) continue to play an integral role in continuing genetic research and new findings in the complex autism inheritance and causation puzzle. view more (2009-10-08)
Researchers learn more about genetic mutation linked to autism
University of Iowa researchers have learned more about a genetic mutation that contributes to autism. The mutation occurred in sperm cells of a father, who does not have autism, but passed the condition on to two of his children. view more (2007-05-04)
