From the article: "It is more usual for autistic neurological development to not include such aberrations, with age-appropriate autistic symptoms being clear from birth, in which case the term "early infantile autism" is used."

Is that true? My understanding is that autism is generally unnoticeable before the age of 2. Clearly it would be difficult to determine if a baby is autistic. Neurodivergent 15:05, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Maternal antibodies to fetal brain

I think there are some papers by the researchers at Kennedy Krieger and MIND Institute indicating regression occurs in children whose mothers have certain antibodies to fetal brain. This is very counter intuitive to me, but in the case of my own son it seemed to be true. His Mom has some of the antibodies, and he seemed to regress somewhere between 15 and 24 months. I don't know what the review papers say but the brain undergoes, or is supposed to undergo, certain programmed changes after birth that are suspected of causing autism when they don't go right.

Such as apoptosis, which the article does hint at with the mention of larger brains in some kids who regressed.

I think this is basically a good article but there could be more for parents who are looking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.61.133.172 (talk) 19:14, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
