Autism may not be the only childhood psychiatric disorder on the rise
The incidence of three childhood neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism, increased among Danish children between 1990 and 2004. view more (2007-02-06)
Tiny, spontaneous gene mutations may boost autism risk
Tiny gene mutations, each individually rare, pose more risk for autism than had been previously thought, suggests a study funded in part by the National Institute of Mental Health, a component of the National Institutes of Health. view more (2007-03-16)
'Faulty' brain connections may be responsible for social impairments in autism
New evidence shows that the brains of adults with autism are "wired" differently from people without the disorder, and this abnormal pattern of connectivity may be responsible for the social impairments that are characteristic of autism. view more (2008-06-13)
Study by Children's Hospital and Carnegie Mellon explains crucial deficit in children with autism
Young children with autism appear to be delayed in their ability to categorize objects and, in particular, to distinguish between living and nonliving things. view more (2006-10-12)
New studies suggest brain overgrowth in 1-year-olds linked to development of autism
Brain overgrowth in the latter part of an infant's first year may contribute to the onset of autistic characteristics, according to research presented today at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) annual meeting. These findings support concurrent research which has found brain overgrowth in autistic children as young as two years... view more... (2007-12-10)
AMA journal publishes by Cornell Researchers study showing evidence of a major environmental trigger for autism
The American Medical Association journal Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine has published a new study by researchers at Cornell University indicating evidence of an environmental trigger for autism among genetically vulnerable children. view more (2008-11-11)
Heightened level of amygdala activity may cause social deficits in autism
Something strange is going on in the amygdala - an almond-shaped structure deep in the human brain - among people with autism. view more (2009-03-20)
Kennedy Krieger Institute launches first national online autism registry
Kennedy Krieger Institute today announced the launch of the Interactive Autism Network (IAN) - the first national online autism registry - at www.IANproject.org. Parents are filled with questions about autism, and, unfortunately, researchers are still struggling with many of the same questions. view more (2007-04-02)
Case Western Reserve research finds that the lack of specific gene plays role in autism
It is estimated that three to six out of every 1,000 children in the United States have autism - and the number of diagnosed cases is rising. view more (2009-02-09)
Brain regions do not communicate efficiently in adults with autism
A novel look at the brains of adults with autism has provided new evidence that various brain regions of people with the developmental disorder may not communicate with each other as efficiently as they do in other people. view more (2006-10-16)
Further gene mutations linked to autism risk
Pieces in the complex autism inheritance puzzle are emerging in the latest study from a research team including geneticists from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). view more (2009-06-29)
Cases of autism may have levelled out in UK and previous surge not "real"
Cases of autism in the UK may have levelled out, after peaking in 1992, reveals a study in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. The rise in the numbers of cases since 1979 may not have been "real," but a result of greater awareness and more efficient record keeping, suggest the authors. But there is evidence to suggest that parental... view more... (2003-07-18)
New genetic study of Asperger syndrome, autistic traits and empathy
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have identified 27 genes that are associated with either Asperger Syndrome (AS) and/or autistic traits and/or empathy. view more (2009-07-15)
Novel chromosome abnormality appears to increase risk of autism
A multi-institutional study involving Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers has identified a chromosomal abnormality that appears to increase susceptibility to autism. view more (2008-01-10)
Autism Has High Costs to U.S. Society
It can cost about $3.2 million to take care of an autistic person over his or her lifetime. Caring for all people with autism over their lifetimes costs an estimated $35 billion per year. view more (2006-04-26)
Language support is important for children with autism
Teachers and parents must be vigilant in observing difficulties with language comprehension, reading and spelling in children and young people with autism, Asperger's syndrome and ADHD. view more (2009-11-10)
New gene linked to autism risk, especially in boys
UCLA scientists have discovered a variant of a gene called CACNA1G that may increase a child's risk of developing autism, particularly in boys. view more (2009-05-20)
Mothers of children with autism have higher parental stress, psychological distress
Ask any mother and she'll tell you that raising a preschooler is no easy task. Now imagine what it must be like to bring up a child with autism or a developmental delay. view more (2009-07-09)
Study finds first-ever genetic animal model of autism
By introducing a gene mutation in mice, investigators have created what they believe to be the first accurate model of autism not associated with a broader neuropsychiatric syndrome, according to research presented at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology annual meeting. view more (2007-12-10)
New National Institute of Mental Health research program launches autism trials
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has launched three major clinical studies on autism at its research program on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. view more (2006-09-08)
