Important Research on Autism

Over the last week I have seen several articles with exciting new research on finding markers for autism at an earlier age.  As an increasing number of children are diagnosed with autism now, I am hopeful that we can find ways to identify children at a younger age and begin treatment at an earlier age.  I have seen the remarkable difference that early intervention can make in a child's life.  This article highlights research done right here in Atlanta at the Marcus Autism Center.  Very exciting!
